Let the Cropping Continue

Lesson Details:

Video Transcription: So let's now try cropping some other photos let's move on to some other photo this video is brought to you by Appy Pie's Academy and let me just bring back to its original state so let me just move it to the left and this guy bit up just like so and this guy a bit to the right just like that okay so as you can see this horizon line could actually be well it can actually well I think it should be shifted just a bit and I think that this tractor should be pulled a bit to the left so if I'm just gonna click on any of my handles so with the crop tool of course I'm gonna this time Brin bring this top bar a bit to the bottom let's see what it looks like just like that and now I'm gonna move this guide to the left just like so in mind that we have golden ratio on and actually right now we can check well we can switch to rule of thirds and see what what we would actually have to do with our grid overlay in order to make the rule of thirds work better so we do have to move it so somewhere here and now let me just check this guy like so and this is our composition this is the original and this is these are our adjustments let me just maybe make it bigger so our original and our adjustments I think that it looks way better right now it's it's definitely more balanced and a bit we'll brought a bit to the front of the image so now let's take care of this matter of these flowers and something tells me that the only thing that we're gonna have to do right here is to just let's say fix the horizon so the Crippler. 

I'm gonna click somewhere here in the bottom and we could go either way here but we would have different results and it's actually a thing that you need to pay attention to because if you're attempted to just maybe go with this guide to the bottom and let's just accept it you can see that we actually don't have a lot of sky right here you know we're like there's a lot of flowers but not a lot of sky so if that's something that you want to go for well you can but I'd advise you to bringing the sky down let me maybe move in the meadow a bit up let's let's call it like that so I'm gonna go like so and now we have more well the composition is a bit more spacious we have a lot of sky we have nice little clouds we have a really nice blue that is really really nicely contrasting with the yellow color of the meadow we still have a lot of flowers but they are now not overwhelming and the whole composition with this composition we can see that there is well there is nice symmetry here with that trees we got one two three four five trees and this guy right here the biggest one is nicely sitting in the middle so I don't think that there would be much well there'll be a big need to maybe adjust the size of our composition however I think that we can do something with the positioning of the horizon so let me just grab the crop tool and maybe I'll just move this just a bit down to somewhere here as you can see there's not a lot of - not a lot need it to be to be adjusted and if I just click OK now let's just move back so now you can you can see for yourself that even by just some slides is some slight well sky adjustment where well maybe the horizon adjustment we actually made a composition look just a bit just a bit better or or at least we changed it to give it some different some different feeling so these are the most basic ways of adjusting your composition using the crop tool but sometimes you can also have problems with them with your image being not just straight because sometimes you can you can take a photo when when you are leaning or maybe you your hands were shaking or something like that and probably someone who took this photo well his hands maybe were shaking a bit so so he didn't he didn't take the photo correctly yes that was a pretty well enough that good joke but with this image I just want to show you one more one more cropping technique which is called straightening source we're going to straighten the Leaning Tower of Pisa but that's something that we are going to do in the next video
