In this latest tutorial, our resident design expert Matt shows you a couple of methods for trimming your image to perfection.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Video tutorial: How to crop an image in Illustrator<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"How to Crop an Image in Illustrator | Adobe Tutorial\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/u6Ujy8pj-cA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>If you liked this tutorial there&#8217;s a whole series to explore when you subscribe to our YouTube Channel here:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/solopress?sub_confirmation=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-wp-editing=\"1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyloaded alignnone wp-image-66137\" src=\"https:\/\/www.solopress.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/subscribe.png\" alt=\"subscribe button\" width=\"157\" height=\"48\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.solopress.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/subscribe.png\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><b>Video Transcription<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are two ways of cropping an image in Illustrator. There&#8217;s a professional way and a less professional way, I&#8217;d say.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>The less professional way<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The less professional way is if you select an image that you&#8217;ve placed, you get an option up here for \u201cCrop Image\u201d. If this bar is not showing for you, you can go to \u201cObject\u201d and down to \u201cCrop Image\u201d this way. You get a warning there that&#8217;s telling you, it&#8217;s going to embed that image into your Illustrator file. So, that&#8217;s an important point.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, I&#8217;m going to \u201cOK\u201d that. And I&#8217;m going to just crop this as if you were cropping an image in Photoshop. You get the handles, just pull it into where you want it. And then just click \u201cReturn\u201d. And you&#8217;ve made your commitment there.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And you can see, just shown by this icon here, that it&#8217;s now an embedded link. It&#8217;s now embedded within your Illustrator file.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>The more professional way<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now, I think that&#8217;s a little bit unprofessional because it&#8217;s quite a commitment. It doesn&#8217;t give you any flexibility. The way I would do it is if I just \u201cUndo\u201d that, I&#8217;m just simply make a &#8220;Mask&#8221;. So, I draw a rectangle over the part of the image I want to show. And then I&#8217;m going to select the rectangle and the picture and just create a \u201cClipping Mask&#8221;. Make. And we&#8217;ve got a crop, but then we&#8217;ve still got the flexibility.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If I go to my Direct Selection tool, I can click and move the image as and where I want it. And I can even click on the &#8220;Mask&#8221; area, and move the sides in. And you&#8217;ve just got a lot more freedom that way, and also your image isn&#8217;t embedded. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Adobe Illustrator is widely used to design and edit vector graphics, but it\u2019s not uncommon for designers to come across the need to manipulate a photographic file or raster image within Illustrator.
