Today pictures are required for many reasons. And there is a need to have them in varying sizes. When cropping and resizing is done it depends on where they will be hosted or displayed.

The need to have small passport size or profile mugs is still a regular requirement of many customers. Other than that there are other reasons also that make one alter or modify the pictures. Even though there are free online tools to crop and resize, an amateur will always have an issue of some sort of distortion. Images then turn to be nightmares. And in some cases the original value of the picture is lost and it may also have to be reshot. To avoid such painful experiments and different trial and error methods, chose a professional and explain why the picture needs to be resized or cropped. Depending on where the modified picture will be placed it may help the professional to work on the image. There are different solutions that can be used for the work.

Let us understand where else are the modified visual frames required. If you are a professional blogger a nice representative image is useful for readers to connect. This image could be of you with the main service you offer. For example a chef in a kitchen or a dog trainer with a pet or a beautician with tools… Or the image could be of the logo of your service or company that needs to be recognized as a brand. Get the picture? So if the blog post snap needs to be cropped or resized it should have clarity. The photo editor will determine how large the frame should be. Should it be placed in a simple square or slightly slanted. Will it be a close up of the face or an entire frontal picture or a profile view? Keeping these basic threads of the brief in mind he will start the work. Image functionality is the key to use the right proportions of the changes to be made. The display image will first be cropped into the dimensions required for the post. Then inside framework can be made clear. If the picture is digital then it will be recreated in the best resolution to achieve the rich texture. It is of utmost importance to keep the width and height in sequence. If it is not in the right sequence it can look stretched or flat.

Photoshop software has many ways to conduct the cropping and resizing image structures. In the  process of cropping  what is not required is simply not added to the final frame. All trimmings are done kept in mind what the picture will be used for. When the pictures are trimmed, the pixels are also lost. This happens also in digital images. If one is specially shooting pictures for profiles then it is best to choose a low pixel count. And then there is a difference between cropping and resizing. In cropping some parts are left out. And in case of resizing the entire picture is reduced. Even the unwanted elements are reduced. But they are not deleted from the frame. Thus a professional will ask if any portion needs to be deleted or simply it needs to be resized.
