How do I crop/select a square shape? Using the crop/select allows a rectangle shape, which I can use to get an approximate square, but how do I get a pixel perfect square?

I need to crop a square of an image and then reduce it to a smaller square (90×90).

Thanks.

yep…simple….a couple of ways. Use guides….hold down the shift, ctrl, alt buttons….one of them constrains….and the best answer….those boxes at the top of the frame when you select Crop…type in the size that you want and that is the size you will get.

Use Marquee properties to set the aspect ratio to 1:1. Now select the area of interest. Then go to image…>crop. Then go to image…>size and set the size to 90 pixels, with resize image checked. Save as: You are done Regards,
