    Brand new to the subject - clipping explained in brief

    Cropping means that you select certain motifs in a picture in order to separate them from the other parts of the picture. In most cases, objects, people, animals or plants are removed from the background . The cropped elements can then be placed in front of other backgrounds or used in creative composings.

    A procedure that is used in pretty much all fields in which photo and image processing plays a role. For example, products need to be placed in (new) scenes or portraits of company employees need to be placed in front of the same background. You can also use cropping to develop your creativity to the full in order to create spectacular image compositions from several image elements.
