Is there a way to restore an area I’ve cropped out of an image? Before you ask: Yeah, I already saved and closed the file.
By default, the crop tool permanently deletes the cropped area, and you can’t recover that area after saving. However, if you check out the Options bar for the Crop tool, you’ll find two Cropping Area options: Delete, and Hide (you only see these after drawing the cropping rectangle). The Hide option is unavailable if you’re cropping an image with a Background in the Layers palette, so the first step is to convert Background to a layer.
