How to Crop Photos
In this tutorial, PaintShop Professional Carole Asselin shows you the different ways you can crop your photos to remove unwanted elements or simply improve your composition. The Crop tool is the most popular editing tool, and it has been enhanced in PaintShop Pro 2018 – now you can choose from new Grid, Diagonal, Golden Ratio and Golden Spiral composition guides, along with other Crop tool enhancements, to help you bring out the best in your image.

The Corel tutorials are one of the reasons I purchased Paintshop Pro!
Hi, I need to learn how to put one part of a photo into another for my training poster. Examle, place a vehicle in the back ground of staff so I need to resize the picture of the vehicle or enlarge the staff picture.
I am new to this program so need the basis instructions please.
Can someone help.
Regards
Dave
Hello Dave,
Our tutorial on the Selection Tools in PaintShop Pro should help with this! This tutorial goes over how to select portions of an image, which you can then copy, resize, and move around within the photo, or even copy over to another photo entirely!
For more information on this sort of editing, our tutorial on changing the background of a photo has some more useful tips on manipulating or replacing specific parts of an image.
Hope this helps!

I am using PSP 18 but seem not to have other options than the “Thirds” on my crop tool. Where can I adjust settings to correct it?
Hello Hanlie,
Are you using the Essentials or Complete workspace? The first thing to try would be switching to the Complete workspace using the File > Workspace option, as some of the more advanced options and features are hidden in Essentials view in order to reduce clutter and make for a simpler, more streamlined experience.

These tutorials are great! They make it so much easier to get started when you have a little confidence about what you are doing. Thanks so much!!!
I love all the new features for the crop tool. It would have taken me a while before I noticed them. Thanks for the tutorial.
