default settings. The picture has been scanned upside down along with another picture that
was on the same page. We are going to select and crop the picture of the girl.
HINT: When scanning a picture from a book it sometimes helps to put a black sheet of paper
behind the page to avoid any bleeding through.
a) Click on the Crop Tool.
b) Drag from the upper left corner of the picture of the girl to the lower right corner.
c) Press the Enter key to Crop the selected image.
d) If you did not select well, use the Edit / Undo
command and select again.
e) The scanned picture is slightly crooked. Use the
Measure Tool to straighten the photograph.
Click and hold on the Measure Tool and drag from the
lower left corner to the lower right corner. Try
to drag along the edge as precisely as possible.
(The Measure Tool is located under the Eyedropper Tool. A > in the lower corner of any tool
indicates additional tools are available. Click and hold on the tool to see more options.Using Adobe Photoshop (version 7) to Edit Scanned Images
