What is another term commonly used for cropping an image?

The term commonly used for cropping an image is "trimming." When an image is cropped, sections of the picture are removed to improve composition or focus on a particular subject. This process can be likened to trimming, as it involves cutting away parts of the image to refine and enhance the overall visual quality.

In digital photography, trimming is an intuitive way to think about the process, as it suggests a careful selection and removal of unnecessary elements around the main subject. While resizing refers to altering the dimensions of the entire image and segmenting is more about dividing the image into parts rather than removing edges, cutting may imply a more aggressive approach than what cropping represents, which is a more precise and careful approach to adjusting the image.
