We send out dozens of flyers and social posts a month but they lack a consistent visual frame.

    NoteAdjustable crop borders will appear around your image.

  3. 3

    Drag the corner or edge handles of the crop border to define your cropping area.

  4. 4

    Select inside the crop border and drag to reposition the image within the crop box.

    Best practiceTo recompose the image within the crop box, drag inside the crop box.

  5. 5

Questions people ask

honest answers

Because you rarely think 'I want the redaction tool'. You think 'I have to share this without leaking the client's details'. Start from the need, and the feature finds you.

Real. Every job here was drawn from what people in real roles were actually seen doing in Photoshop — not a feature checklist.
