•The Pixlr Tutor's Place•Question: Um..I was wondering how do you crop the pictures on Pixlr, it seems like Pixler updated making everything difficult. So yeah..
Answer: Here, let me show you...
(by the way, today's pic is:

...because recently I've watched BOF and fell in love with these two, though I didn't like how Soeul became a carpet and allowed Yijung to walk all over her. But that's another story.)
So as you see in this pic, there is a logo thing that translates to Health Korea News. Let's say that I want to use this pic. I'd have to cut out the logo, right?
Easiest way to do that: crop.
When you first use Pixlr, the default tool it will start with is going to be, for some odd, odd reason, the cropping tool. The mouse should look like this:
The rest is pretty simple. You left-click and drag the parts you want to leave in the picture, and when you let go, there should be something like this:
Use those little blue squares to freely change the size and shape of the crop box, and when you hover the mouse inside the box, your mouse should transform to something like this:
The only thing left to do is press enter. And viola, there's your newly cropped picture!!! (no pic, sorry. Guess I reset before I snipped.)
Also, if you click oustide the box which you have selected, a little thingy will come up that looks like this:
Choose, darlings, and choose wisely.
EXTRAS
Other things: there is, on the extras bar (the horizontal and gray one), it looks like:
... in which you can have restrictions. This is an awesome extra tool option thing to have, really, when you need to have a certain proportion or size. Open that little white drop-down, and you'll have three choices:
(you notice, it's already set on no restriction. Just stating the obvious, yo.)
Picking Aspect Ratio will open up the Width and Height that had been unavailable before to you, and though it is set on 1:1 (a square, basically), you can change it. If you don't know what Aspect Ratio is, well, your crop box is now set in a ratio that you can't change anymore. So working with 1:1, you can only make square (any size, though) crop boxes. Even if you try to make a rectangle, it won't let you, because you've set the Aspect Ratio.
Picking Output Size will change the default settings of Width and Height to your image's size. What this does, which is really helpful too, is first also make an Aspect Ratio that is congruent to your current image's width and height.
Mine is 500:709, so that if I, on my set ratio, drag my mouse over the whole picture, the box will fit the picture perfectly.
Let's say I, using defualt output size (which, by the way, you can change, because the settings are default only-- but I warn you to not make it very small) of my picture there, make a crop box of this:
And then press enter, what I will get is this:
(don't know if you noticed, because I generally shrunk down the real sizes on this tutorial, but they are both 500x709-- even the cropped one.)
Basically, Output Size cropping first makes the aspect ratio of your choice, then enlarges the cropped part to the same width and height of the aspect ratio. So if I had done Output Size cropping with 1:1, I would get this:
..which, if you haven't noticed, is waaay too small to see properly. You can kind of see the dot in the middle?
So yeah, that's my answer on cropping for you, kpopchocolate. Hope it helped! :)
( Quinnie ) ; yes, that's basically all that needs to be known for cropping! Hope this was helpful!
