Every photo editor has a crop tool, and we all know how to use it. However, we forget sometimes why we use a crop tool. As I was working on a photo, I instinctively reached for my crop tool to correct a couple of problems, and in this video, explain why I knew the image needed a crop. Also, I point out the side effects applying a crop can have and steps to address them.
