How to Crop Photos Into Full Length & Three Quarters

Digital images are easily manipulated with photo editing software. One of the most common editing techniques is cropping. By trimming off a portion of a photo, the subject matter appears closer than in the original photo. Cropping into a person with a full-length view means the final image will show them from head to toe. A three-quarters view will show the subject from their waist to the top of their head. Both styles of cropping are popular for photos to be framed, scrap-booked or displayed on a personal website.

Instructions

Make a copy of the photo to be cropped. Start by opening the original image to be cropped, duplicate it and save the duplicate with a new file name. Add a numeral or the word "crop" after the file name. Close the original image, and work with the new file. If you make a mistake while cropping, you can always use an undo feature or repeat this step.

Set the parameters on your photo editing software cropping tool. Select a dimension proportionate to a common print size. Standard photo album prints are usually 4 inches by 6 inches.
