This tutorial will instruct you to crop a layer. It combines the lessons of two previous tutorials: Basic Cropping and Basic Selections.

1.First, select the layer that you would like to crop in the layers palette. If the layers palette is not visible, go to Window >  Layers.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2. Select the part of the layer that you wish to keep. To do this, draw a marquee around this area with the selection tool. (A marquee is the rectangle of dashes that delineates a selected area). Here, a marquee is drawn around the elephant so the extraneous field in the background can be cropped away.

...

 4. Now that the unwanted field is selected, it can be easily deleted: press the Delete button on the keyboard. The only part of the layer that remains is the original selection. De-select everything by clicking outside the selection or by  pressing Command+D. The elephant can now be easily be moved or adjusted
