How to Crop an Image – Lightroom 3 Video Tutorial

(The Lightroom video tutorial in this post is just under the introductory text below. The working files for this Lightroom video tutorial can be found just above the video.)

The Lightroom 3 Cropping Tool is so powerful that you are not going to want to crop your images in any other application. In fact, I often find myself creating and importing small catalogs strictly for cropping my images.

This Lightroom video tutorial is designed to teach you how to crop an image in Lightroom, as well as to help you understand and master Lightroom 3′s Cropping Tool along with all of its features.

So, sit back, grab your favorite exercise files (and drink) and enjoy!
