Crop Tool / Sharpen Option / Applying Shadow
Submitted by Jemima


Crop Tool
Make your selection on the graphic, and double click outside your selected area still on the graphic and your picture will crop automatically.

Always use the crop tool and not the selection tool to "cut" an image for a clean outline.
The selection too tends to leave and edge of white pixels (unless using for a seamless selection).

*************************

Sharpen Option
When making a graphic smaller, go to effects > sharpen once, this will bring back the clarity of the pixels that are lost when shrinking the graphic.

*************************

Applying Shadow
While the image that you are applying shadow to is surrounded by the selection go to Selections > Modify > Contract and contract by 1 pixel this will prevent a ragged white appearance around the graphic after shadow has been applied.
