>>Laura: Hello class, today we are going to learn how to crop a photo using fotoflexer.com
The first thing you want to do is go to the website fotoflexer.com
Once you are on this website, go to the box that says, "Get Started"
Go ahead and click on, Upload Photo
Okay, Now what you are going to do is upload a photo. So we'll go here and click on Upload.
I'm going to choose the first image here to crop.
Okay, here is our photo
What we are going to want to do is to go up here to the bar with the different commands
and find the command that says 'Crop" First we have Auto Fix, then Red Eye, and then Crop
Click on the Crop command
Click on the picture and draw a box around the area we want to crop
Keep in mind the rule of thirds
If you remember, the rule of thirds is where you divide your frame into nine sections
Three sections going vertically
And the three sections going horizontally
As you can see, the focus point of our picture, the person's eyes, is on the top rule of thirds line.
By moving the lines on either side, we can make the person's body, as well as the dogs eyes follow the rule of thirds
I think I am happy with the picture, so now I am going to click on "Crop Selected Area"
Now that I have the picture the way I want it, I'm going to make a few adjustments to it to make it really stand out and look nice
I'm going to click on Auto Fix
Then I am going to go over here to "Adjust"
I'll adjust the Hue [silence]
Play around with that a little bit.
Adjust the saturation a little bit ... that's good there.
I think I'll make it just a little bit darker
I think I like that right there. Now I'll click on Done.
That's all for today. Thank you!
