Use this Instagram HACK to Avoid Cropping Your Photos
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 окт 2024
- Instagram’s native post size is 4:5, but most people shoot in a 2:3 ratio. Because of this, you’ll have to crop the edges of your photos to make them fit on Instagram.
While it certainly isn’t ideal, this quick workaround may help you to include the whole image without cropping. The content aware scale tool in Photoshop scales your image while maintaining the subject of the photo, without any distortion. Give it a try on your next Instagram post, rather than cropping! #lightroom #instagramtip #uberquickphototip #photoshop #photoshoptutorial #shorts
Ngl I thought you were gonna expand and use content aware fill for the left and right parts, but you caught me off guard with the content aware scale tool, I never knew about it. Great video!!
Thanks so much! I have a newer video using that technique! Both ways work well.
You have no idea how many WRONG vids I had to view just to get to the ONLY ONE THAT ACTUALLY WORKED!!! Thank you bro!!!
No problem 👍
Imagine... You had to watch all of these unnecessary videos just to get to the right one, all because youtube removed the dislike button.
i’ve seemed to miss the point here. isn’t the final result is still ending up with 4x5 cropped image? what’s the gain of doing this method from cropping when the result ended the same? i’m confused.
You end up with a 4:5 image that isn’t cropped. You’ve added pixels, rather than cut away something on the edge. So you still maintain everything in your original image.
I'm confused too 🤷🏽♀️
Lmao the whole point is to get the whole photo on your instagram feed. Instead of 4:5 do 1:1 for this …it might work who knows
Instagram has added a "mixed" orientation when posting. But for me it has been annoyingly buggy when i try and post it. It puts all of the pictures as whatever the original pictures aspect ratio was. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesnt
I haven't seen it yet. Where did you find out about this?
@@AustinJamesJackson it's on Instagram when you make a post.
Once you've picked more than one picture with different aspects ratios there's a little frame on the bottom left. You tap it and the options are "portrait or landscape, square, and mixed"
This is pretty cool
Thanks!
Can you showcase a video on how to do this in Lightroom
This tool is not available in Lightroom.
Love your tips, they are teaching me. wish I knew photoshop like you. ❤
You can do it!
Omggg thank you 😭
You’re welcome!
You can actually upload at 10:17 ratio which is the best for long vertical photos
I’ll have to give it a try!
Can you make a video like you said from photoshop to lightroom and directly share to instagram. I m still trouble in high quality export from photoshop. Thank you
If you save from Photoshop, you can import back into Lightroom and export from there!
Thats very good love it ❤
Thanks!
When doing the Content Aware scale, ALT is pressed and it crops on all sides leaving pixels on either side.
Yeah! Thanks.
Sadly I only have Ibis Paint and if even I had to open photoshop that means I need to open my laptop and I'm lazy to do that
Okay? Lol
Unfortunately, this didn't work for me even following each step repeatedly. Once the canvas is resized to 4 by 5, I have pixels either side and cannot select the content-aware scale, as it is greyed out! I really don't know what the issue is, as I have RGB colour, Photoshop 2024...
It’s really hard to say without seeing it. I wish I could help more!
When I follow these my content aware option is unavailable as it is greyed out!
Hmmm
Same here
@@ogtibreborn8487 There is a way I found out how to do it and it totally works 100%. If your interested let me know and I will reply with what I do :)
How to do it using smartphone?
You can't without Photoshop.
It still does warp my pictures i dont know why
Hmm it’s hard to say without seeing it.
How do I force the crop to go only downwards? Is there a different set of keys to hold on Mac?
You should just be able to drag down from the bottom!
I really thought you were just gonna add a border like a printed photo
😂
awesome... anyone know if is there a way to do this without photoshop, i.e. without paying for that additional program?
Not that I’m aware of!
I tried the Content aware scale but expands both top and side too! Can you help?
It’s hard to say what the problem is without seeing it. I’m sorry!
I guess this won't work for close up portraits.
Probably not the best for portraits!
Is it available on Play Store?
I don't believe so, but it should be available for PC.
Can u create a video on this new ai long post?
What do you mean?
Can this be done in lightroom?
Sadly it cannot.
I use Snapseed to expand. Works wonders!
👍🏼
It doesn't work the way you do it on my Photoshop. When i hit enter, the cut of image is no longer available to crop with conternt aware, i just get missing photo
Hmmm. Do you have your Photoshop updated?
You have "delete cropped pixels" on
So i followed your steps and I get a white checker board on the edges...how do I get rid of this?
You can use the crop tool to bring the edges in!
Then you are no longer at 4x5 when you bring in the edges to get rid of the white checker board
works great on faces too
👍
Make sure "Delete cropped pixels" isn't checked.
Yeah! Thanks.
Cropping is better 😂
Depends on the image!
is there a way to do this in bulk in LRC? or just in LRC
Unfortunately there is not.
thanks!@@AustinJamesJackson
This looks so painful
🤷🏽♀️
This is kind of shit you have to edit for vertical photos while they allow reels.
Yup…
Ça ne fonctionne pas chez moi je ne sais pas pourquoi et pourtant je suis l'étape par étape
👍
What about for videos
AI Generative fill? I'm actually not sure what's available for video.
The end results look terrible...
It doesn't work great on all images, but usually if there isn't detail on the edges it works pretty well.
Abiqua falls?
👍
I feel like a puppy dies somewhere with every crop I make, and generating doesn't work for stubborn folk like me 😅
😂😂
This doesn’t help for people who just use the telephone
Yeah, you’ll have to own Photoshop to do this!
Wow
👍🏼
He has Justin Bieber vibes 😮
Why's that?
@@AustinJamesJackson I can't answer "why" buy you do mate, you look younger version of him.
so.. you still have to crop it lol
You aren’t doing any cropping here?
@@AustinJamesJackson You are. You're just cropping the middle of the image. Watch as it disappears as you squeeze the image. That's cropping the middle. Data is being lost in order to accommodate the stupid aspect ratio.
This doesnt work
Why not?
First step buy photoshop just to post on ig, should have put that in the description. Dislike
This is targeted towards photographers, most of which own Photoshop already.
@@AustinJamesJackson and I’m making sure it doesn’t appear first on others search recommendations and waste their time as well. Should have better titled.
Those app phone working or not
I’m not sure what you mean?
Instagram makes it 4:5, solution?
Make it 4:5 yourself...????
I'm not sure what you mean?
He missed a VITAL detail to make this work for the newbies: MAKE SURE YOU UNCLICK "Delete Cropped Pixels" WHEN CROPPING OR THIS WON'T WORK.
I think it is clicked off by default, so you don't need to mess with it unless you've turned it on.
This is arguably worse than cropping
Why so?
skill issue tbh
😂
Wtf is point of this 😂😂
If you watch the video you’ll find out.
When I set this up in PS 2024, the X and Y values in the upper bar are in pixels and the ability to set the ratio to 4:5 is not available. I can do the math on the pixels to figure out how many vertical pixels are needed to achieve a 4x5 image, but it's not clear how you got to 4:5 other than it looked right. Also, the other oddity is that the pixel dimensions in the content-aware scale input boxes are way different from the actual pixel dimensions of the image. The image is 4344x7728, yet in Content Aware, teh starting pixel dimensions are 2172x3864. Why is that? @austinjamesjackson
I'm not sure, but I would try and figure out why you can't set the ratio. Hard to say without seeing it myself.
Wow thanks a lot this saved my shoot 😅🫡🔥
