      Photo Editing Techniques: Crop and Resize

      Photo editing involves various techniques to enhance or modify images according to specific requirements. Two fundamental methods are "Crop" and "Resize," each serving distinct purposes and yielding different outcomes.

      Crop Technique: When utilizing the Crop technique, an image is trimmed or cut to a desired frame, focusing on a particular subject or element within the photo. The original file size remains unaffected, encompassing the entirety of the image even after cropping. The vacant space resulting from cropping is typically filled with a white background. Notably, if a Background Removal tool was employed before cropping, and a black or transparent background was chosen, the cropped area's background will adopt the selected black or transparent attributes, respectively. The Crop technique allows precise composition adjustments while retaining the original file dimensions.

      Resize Technique: In contrast, the Resize technique involves altering the dimensions of the entire image. When resizing an image, its overall size is modified to fit new width and height measurements. Unlike cropping, which retains the original file size, resizing results in a change in the image's dimensions. This means that any cropping done during the resizing process will be permanently reflected in the final saved image. The Resize technique is useful for adjusting an image's overall scale to match specific requirements.

      In summary, the Crop technique enables focused composition adjustments while preserving the original file size and accommodating background attributes from prior edits. On the other hand, the Resize technique entails altering the image's dimensions, impacting its overall scale while retaining any cropping changes made during the process. Both techniques offer distinct advantages for tailored photo editing needs.
