Topic 1. Removing monochromatic fields in a photo in Adobe Photoshop (method overview (Topic)

This tutorial covers the basic technique for cropping or cropping photos - removing solid edges (trimming).

What is cropping?

Cropping or cropping photographs refers to changing the aspect ratio of an image by cutting off unnecessary areas. Simply put, it is a bleed.

In this lesson, we'll cover the basics: removing solid edges in a photo.

Where does it occur

Any scanned image, a significant part of images on the Internet, a photograph of a painting at an exhibition most often contains a single-color "frame". Many people carry out its removal by means of sequential allocation of zones. However, Adobe Photoshop includes a tool to do this in one step.

Trimming Tool

Computer Photoshop lessons most often bypass this tool. However, processing of photographs, especially scanned ones, usually begins with it. So, the purpose of trimming is to cut off (cut) solid-colored fields. Example: a photo of a horse.

There is a gray field around. For quick clipping:

• Open the Trim dialog box.
• From the Image menu, select the appropriate item.

• In the dialog box that opens, tell Photoshop where to take the color swatch from. There are two options - top-left point or bottom-right.
• Select the checkboxes which edges need to be trimmed.
• Click OK .

Adobe Photoshop will independently form and remove rectangular areas that are solid with the selected fill pattern.

Note : Please note that the word "solid" means a zone of the same color. Therefore, the presence of even one point that differs from the rest of the zone will lead to a decrease in the trimming zone.
