How to Crop a Photo: You could be tapping some amazing selfies but there are few moments when your picture looks amazing but the background left a little bit awkward. Maybe you’ve all the necessary parameters for a good photo including focus, white balance, tone, and brightness and then you thought that a dirty pair of jeans is left sitting on a chair in the back.
Well, no need to worry! We’ve got you covered. There is still a way or two to save the picture.
How to Crop a Photo:
Cropping yourself or replacing the background from a picture you’re in can only be done through third-party apps on Android. In this guide, we’re using two different apps to crop yourself or an object and past it onto a different background.
Using Cut Cut app
Step 1:
At first download and install the Cut Cut app from Google Play.
Step 2:
Then open the app and tap edit.
A new window open where you’d be shown pictures from your gallery. For the app to show pictures, remember that you grant storage permissions.
Step 4:
Then Select a picture from which you choose to remove a background. This could be a picture you want to crop from its surroundings.
Step 6:
On the next page, you can choose the subject you want to crop from the picture by brushing over it.
Once done the brushed-over portion of the picture is colored in red (with opaqued background).
- You can also change the brush size by sliding through the yellow slider.
- Simply zoom in into the picture to brush the subject with precision.
- By mistake, if you brushed over a portion that needs no be cropped, you can click on the Eraser icon and brush again to undo the mistake.
- You can undo or redo last moves by clicking on the reverse and forward arrows at the top.
Step 7:
Click on the tick mark at the bottom right.
Step 8:
Choose the characteristics and dimensions of the cropped subject:
- Resize: By tapping and dragging the double-headed arrow, you can resize or minimize the subject.
- Duplicate: You can make a duplicate copy of the cropped subject by clicking on the +1 icon.
- Mirror: The cropped picture can be reversed with a mirror effect by clicking on the inverted arrow icon.
- Remove: Clicking the x icon will remove the cropped picture from the background.
Step 9:
Once the cropped picture is tuned, you can then choose a new background for it. Select from either of the following tabs to paste (Ctrl+V) background behind the cropped subject.
- Online: Clicking on the Online tab will get you pictures to select from the Cut Cut app itself for your use.
- Unsplash: Selecting the Unsplash tab will let you choose a background from Unsplash. It specializes in stock photographs from over 110,000 contributing photographers and a library of over 810,000 photos.
- Gallery: When you click on the Gallery tab choose a new background for your cropped picture from your own gallery/internal storage.
Step 10:
Select a picture from any of the three tabs listed above.
Step 11:
Click on the preview picture.
Step 12:
Repeat step 8 if you want to change the cropped image.
Step 13:
After editing click on Save to end the process. The saved picture will be visible on your phone storage.
Using PhotoLayers app
Step 1:
Firstly, Download and install the PhotoLayers app from Google Play.
Step 2:
Now Open the app.
Step 3:
Click on Load a background image.
Step 4:
Choose a picture.
Step 5:
Select the image parameters for the background image.
Step 6:
Click Done. The background picture is now set.
Step 7:
Tap on Add Photo button at the top in the next window.
Step 8:
Choose the picture you want to add as a cropped subject.
Step 9:
Now Adjust the dimensions of the second picture.
Step 10:
Click Done.
Step 11:
In the next window, you can remove the unwanted elements of the overlaying picture. Try different tools to crop the image. These tools are:
- Auto
- Magic
- Manual
- Zoom
- Repair
- Cursor Offset
Step 12:
Once the cropping-related editing complete, click on Done. The cropped picture will be covering the top of the background that we added before (on Step 6).
Step 13:
You can move and resize the cropped picture by tapping and dragging on any of the arrows on its frame.
Step 14:
Click Save to complete the process.
