​Skylum's Director of Education Vanelli shows how to use the crop tool to fake a macro shot for a really beautiful closeup photo. ​

Let's first get this out of the way. Cropping an image throws away valuable pixels lowering the quality of the photo. However, this may not be noticeable with newer cameras that offer higher quality and megapixels. In this episode, you will learn how to use the crop tool to fake a macro shot for a really beautiful closeup photo.
