But now that I've cropped the image, what if I want to change the crop? For example, let's say I want to change its orientation from portrait to landscape.
I'll go up to the Options Bar and I'll swap the aspect ratio by clicking the swap icon :. I don't want the image to be cropped in so close, so I'll drag the handles outward to bring back more of the background:. But when I release my mouse button, instead of revealing more of the image, Photoshop fills the surrounding area with white:. The reason is that when I made my original crop, Photoshop deleted the surrounding pixels. So now that those areas are missing, Photoshop is filling them with my current Background color , which by default is white.
The current Foreground and Background colors are found in the toolbar. The Background color is the bottom right swatch:. And the reason why Photoshop deleted those pixels is because the Delete Cropped Pixels option in the Options Bar was turned on, which it is by default:.
Let's look at a better way to work. I'll cancel the crop by clicking the Cancel button in the Options Bar:. And then I'll revert the image back to its original size by going up to the File menu and choosing Revert :. But this time, before I actually crop the image, I'll turn the Delete Cropped Pixels option off by deselecting it:. And so far, everything looks the same as it did before:. But watch what happens if I try to resize the crop. I'll swap the aspect ratio back to Landscape mode:.
And now we see something very different. The entire image reappears, as if it was never cropped at all. That's because when Delete Cropped Pixels is turned off, Photoshop simply hides the cropped area. No pixels are ever deleted:. So by turning off Delete Cropped Pixels, I was able to crop the image, adjust the crop border, and then crop the image again without losing a single pixel:.
Since Photoshop is just hiding the cropped area, another benefit of cropping non-destructively is that we can actually move and reposition the image even after we've cropped it. Finally, if you cropped your image with Delete Cropped Pixels turned off, you can restore the entire image at any time by going up to the Image menu and choosing Reveal All :.
