Cropping control in Photoshop 2

Normally, when you crop an image, Photoshop deletes the portion of the photo that you cropped so it's gone forever. If you're cropping a layered file, you can tell Photoshop not to delete the cropped material, making it easy to revert back if you change your mind. To do this, go to the options bar and, in the cropped area section, turn on the 'Hide' radio button. From now on, Photoshop will hide the cropped area outside the document margins instead of deleting it, meaning that though you won't see it on screen, it's still part of your file. In fact, if you want to resurrect the cropped portion, choose Image > Reveal All and Photoshop will automatically resize the canvas to reveal anything that might be outside the canvas (the previously cropped part). If you want to bring back a portion of the cropped area, just use the 'Move' tool to reposition that area back into view.
