No, you can&#8217;t crop a single layer. The closest thing would be to copy the layer to a new image, crop that image, and copy the <strong>layer<\/strong> back to the original image. It&#8217;s easier just to erase or mask the part of the layer that you don&#8217;t want.<\/p>\n<p>As many you asked, how do I crop a specific layer? Highlight the layer you want to <strong>crop<\/strong> in your layers panel. Now choose whether you want to crop the layer with the delete method, or <strong>layer<\/strong> mask method. For the delete method, press Command + Shift + I (Mac) or Control + Shift + I (PC) to invert your selection. Press the Delete Key to <strong>crop<\/strong> the <strong>layer<\/strong> into the shape.<\/p>\n<p>Beside above, how do I <strong>crop<\/strong> part of an image in <strong>Photoshop<\/strong>? <\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Use any selection tool, such as the Rectangular Marquee tool , to select the part of the image you want to keep.<\/li>\n<li>Choose Image > Crop.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>You asked, how do I resize and crop a layer in <strong>Photoshop<\/strong>? In the Layers panel, select one or more layers that contain images or objects you want to resize. Choose Edit > Free Transform. A transform border appears around all the content on the selected layers. Hold the Shift key to avoid distorting the content, and drag the corners or edges until it is the desired size.Use the Marquee tool, and draw a rectangle over the image where you want to crop it. Add a layer mask to the new layer and invert it. Click the anchor icon (paper clip) between the black <strong>layer<\/strong> icon and its mask to unlock them. Use the Move tool to move the marquee, or Cmd+T [PC: Ctrl+T] to Free Transform it.<\/p>\n<h2>How do I crop an image in Photoshop without background?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p><iframe style=\"width:100%;height:420px;\" width=\"auto\" height=\"auto\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/PMvr5pd7nbI\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Can you crop in Photoshop?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>You can crop an image in Photoshop with the crop tool, found in the Tool Palette on the left side of the screen.
