How do I crop a Filter in Camera Raw Photoshop?

Published in Camera Raw Cropping 2 mins read

You can crop an image within the Camera Raw interface in Photoshop after applying filters. Here's how:

The provided reference mentions the ability to crop in Camera Raw, but it doesn't specify "cropping a filter" specifically. The video states: "And then you can go in here and crop like you want it right...". This implies that cropping is a separate process that you can perform on the image in Camera Raw.

Here's a breakdown of how to accomplish the cropping:

Cropping in Camera Raw:

While you don't directly "crop a filter" in Camera Raw, you can crop the image after applying your desired filters. Filters are edits that impact the entire image; cropping is performed after filters to adjust the image's dimensions.

To perform cropping in Camera Raw:

  1. Open your image in Photoshop.
  2. Go to Filter > Camera Raw Filter.
  3. Apply your desired filter adjustments (e.g., basic edits, sharpening, noise reduction, etc.).
  4. Select the Crop tool (C) from the toolbar on the left.
  5. Use your mouse to drag and draw the crop area to your desired dimensions.
  6. Click the Done button to complete your crop.

Key Points:

  • The video reference confirms that cropping is an available feature in Camera Raw.
  • The cropping function operates on the image as a whole, not on individual filters.
  • You should always adjust your image filters before cropping, as cropping permanently removes parts of the image.
