Simple cropping

To maximise a portion of the photo

• Frame the portion you want to focus on
• Remember, never go above 100%. Always consider whether the photo is still in focus at 100%
• Play around with the crop tool.

To change the dramatic impact

• Use your eye to decide on impact.
• Remove distractions and meaningless information
• In the photoshop crop tool, the default grid overlay is is called the 'rule of 3rds'.  (Each dimension is dividing into 3 equal parts)
