Adobe Photoshop CS5 One-on-One

6. Adjust the appearance of the shield. Photoshop
   indicates the area that will be cropped away by cov-
   ering it with a translucent shield. Black by default,
   the shield doesn’t give us much of an idea of how
   the image will look when set against a white page
   or a Web site. In the options bar, click the Color
   swatch to display the Color Picker dialog box. Set
   the Color to white by setting the R, G, and B val-
   ues each to 255, and then click OK. I also like to
   lower the Opacity value to 50 percent, as circled in
   Figure 2-18.


7. Rotate the crop boundary. To rotate the rectan-
   gular crop boundary, move your cursor outside the
   boundary and drag. Rotate the boundary so it ap-
   pears straight up-and-down (see Figure 2-19), thus
   matching the angle of the view.
