Image processing tools

Photoshop is a good tool of image processing. You can process pictures like resizing, cropping or other functions via photoshop. That is very easy to process pictures what you like. I took a photo by my digital camera on my way back home. It is one of bus stops on plungeton Road. This is the original photo, it is easy to see a bus sign and timetable of arrived buses. The Lancashire County Council logo is also clear on the board.

The original photo is the first picture below.The pixel of the photo is 1944 wide by 2592 high.

original photo (1944 px wide * 2592 px high)
the Lancashire County Council 100*100 px
timetable of buses 400px wide*300px high
Lancashire County Council 200 px wide * 500 px high

I use photoshop to crop the Lancashire County Council logo in 100*100pixel. This is a easy operation. I just open photoshop, then choose the "crop" sign, and type 100px on the blank which is on the top. Finally, crop the part which you want. The second picture is the outcome. Using the same operation, I cropped other two pictures, the third one is 400 pixel wide by 300 pixel high. The last picture is 200 pixel wide by 500 pixel high.

Photoshop also can do further operation. It is useful. In addition, there are many websites can do these functions directly, they are also convenient and easy to use. For example, http://www.webresizer.com/ is a use-friendly online tool of resizing and cropping. Just typing the site and uploading images, the website can do it as soon as possible.
