You can also choose from the preset values in the drop-down list (for either Aspect Ratio or Crop size) or, enter your own values and choose New Crop Preset to add the values to the drop-down.Ĭropping to Another Image’s Dimensions (File Size) Choose W x H x Resolution from the Aspect Ratio/Crop Size drop-down menu to enter specific values and crop to a specific image dimension.
With the Crop tool selected, choose Ratio from the Aspect Ratio/Crop Size drop-down menu in the Options bar and enter values to constrain the crop to a specific aspect ratio. If you want to use the Crop tool again, click in the image area to display the crop marquee or, click-drag in the image area to define a crop.Ĭropping to a Specific Ratio or File Size After applying a crop, Photoshop automatically hides the crop marquee even though the Crop tool is still selected. When you first select the Crop tool, most people don’t know that you can click-drag in the image area to define the Crop (instead of adjusting the crop handles that appear around the image by default). Note: you must make an adjustment to the Crop marquee before tapping the “P” key, otherwise Photoshop will select the Pen tool. “P” enables Classic Mode (in Classic Mode, the Crop marquee is repositioned, not the image). Note: you must make an adjustment to the Crop marquee before tapping the “I” key, otherwise Photoshop will select the Eyedropper tool. 
“I” auto-populates the Width, Height, and Resolution with the dimensions of the active document. Command (Mac) | Control (Win) with the Crop tool selected, temporarily enables the Straighten option. To apply the crop, tap the enter key, double click inside of the crop marquee, or choose another tool from the tool bar (this last method displays the “Crop the image?” dialog). 
Note: the forward slash key (/) also works. “H” hides the image area beyond (outside of) the Crop marquee.“O” cycles through view overlays (Rule of Thirds, Grid, etc.).
“X” swaps the width and height values Or, click the arrow icon in the Options bar. Here are my favorite shortcuts for Photoshop’s Crop tool!
