Which term describes removing a portion of an image?

• A. Healing Tool
• B. Memory Card
• C. PSD
• D. Cropping

Answer: (D)

Cropping is the term for removing a portion of an image. It shapes the composition by cutting away outer areas to bring the subject more into focus, and it can also change the image’s aspect ratio and final size. The healing tool, by contrast, fixes imperfections within the image by blending pixels rather than removing parts of the image. A memory card is just storage for files, and PSD is a Photoshop project file format that can contain layers and edits, not the act of removing image areas. In practice, cropping defines a new boundary for the image, effectively discarding everything outside the selected area (though many editors offer non-destructive crop options).
