Adobe Photoshop Resizing and Cropping an image

We are going to start off with using an image of a snake lunging at a bird. We will eventually resize this and crop out the snake.

First off we will get the crop tool.

We will then select the bird fully with the crop tool and press enter. The crop tool deletes everything that isn't selected , on that layer.



Now lets say you want to resize this image, make it skinnier, there are a few ways. But the best way, is to click the move tool, or 'v'. This will bring up transform controls. Note: Make sure ' Show transform controls is selected'.










You may then drag the boxes on the image to make it taller or skinnier and vice versa. I will make it skinnier for this demonstration.
















I will then save the bird as a jpg file, it will turn out like this.
