You can’t use the Crop tool to do this however because it will crop the entire file. What you want to do now is crop the image to the maximum file dimension that you need. Don’t worry about the name right now, we’ll give it an appropriate name later. Next, drag an image into this file so that it creates a new layer. I saved my file as a PSD file and called it Web Assets.psd, although you can use any name that you wish. So by making the file extra large, I’m just giving myself plenty of room in which to work. Keep in mind, the actual size of the file is determined by what is on each layer or layer group. In this case based on the sizes listed above, that was 1500 pixels by 1500 pixels. This first thing I did, was to create a new file to the size of the maximum asset that I needed. Pretty cool!

I’m not talking about the look and feel of the web site per se, but instead the images that are placed in articles of the web site. One thing that almost all designers are requested to do at some point, is create images that will be used on a web site. It truly is an amazing feature that can save users tons of time and takes a lot of the guesswork out of the process.įor web designers this is a very impactful feature, but it can also be useful for print designers.
