Crop to selection

[vmars316]

Thanks in advance!

I would like to crop to this image text:

With magicWand i selected text then cntrl+shift+x to crop

but maybe because of the diff in image colors(?)

results are ugly:

Pls, what is a better way to do this?

really want to reSize canvas to size of selection

Thanks.. vmars

the results are so because you are using multiple layers, or because your magic wand isn't at 0 tolerance. Try flattenning the image first.

Otherwise, you can use the same principle but instead of the wand use the rectangle selection tool.

Thanks:

Ah, zero tolerance, ok.

Ah, the old rectangle tool (to me this is winging it).

Pdn does a good job of reporting the exact height & width of canvas.

But, I wish that pdn would also show the exact height & width of a selected Object.

Then Image ReSize and Canvas Resize would be a cinch.

Maybe pdn already does this, and i am just not seeing it.

Thanks folks.. vmars

Look down at the status bar, Bounding Rectangle Size.

Ah yes, thar she be, great.

I noticed that i dont really need to know image size,

to make canvas size = image size, if i do the following:

select textImage with mWand, then click on Image/'Crop to Selection'.

But its nice to be able to see imageSize.

Thanks.. vmars
