These lessons are done on a Mac, with Photoshop CS4. To view the lesson samples, in a larger screen, just click on the picture.
1.Open your picture.
If you do not see your tools on the left side of the screen, make sure that the tab in the top right corner is set for Essentials.
2. To crop your photo, click on the crop tool on the left (5th one down from the top).
Click and drag the crop area out. You re-size the box by clicking inside the little squares on the sides of the box and dragging out. You can move the box by placing your
cursor inside the box, right clicking and dragging where you want the crop.
To crop, hit enter or the check mark above the photo area.

I'm on the fence about this, while more customization is good, I have a feeling this is a "in-progress" update, it just feels incomplete and half-way there.
We use badge layout for apps on design approvals (visual projects), so the image being displayed is important. Old layout "feels like" it had larger images,
maybe because the images were cropped more loosely so it's easier to tell which project it was at quick glance. Now the image is cropped closer, making it
harder to scan thru at quick glance. I find myself needing to click into the project more often than usual. Which makes the whole user experience less
efficient.
I have a couple suggestions that might make it work better:
1. Increase the height of the window the cover image is being displayed.
2. Let us to choose which image to be displayed as "cover" (like how Pinterest handles cover images of each board, was hoping for this for a long time)
3. Let us adjust which part of the image to show and how tight or loose the crop is (with a fixed window, let us move the image around and maybe enlarge or
shrink it to control what shows thru the window. Pinterest does a limited form of this, which is very useful in making the cover image relevant)
4. Allow Cover Image to be ordered in different hierarchy (currently every element can be ordered differently except the Cover Image, it seems to be stuck
in the 2nd spot, would like the option to set it on another spot in the layout. This one seems like an easy fix, since you guys allow that for every other
element already)
