Never saw one before in my life.....go out back and here is this Cattle Egret (right?) foraging in the field behind my house! He was too far away for a decent shot...here's what I got. 100% crop.
Yep, that's cattle egrte getting his breeding colors on. Nice capture Ric.

Heck, come to Texas sometime, you would be in cattle egret heaven.
That is a beautiful picture of one. The colors really are wonderful on him, I have been noticing the breeding colors here, but I haven't paid a lot of attention
A 100% crop is simply a picture that is pixel-for-pixel what comes out of the camera.
So, if you take a shot at 3000x2000, and crop an 800x600 section out of it, then that 800x600 would be a 100% crop.
Naturally the image would have to be displayed at the cropped dimensions for the percentage to become relevant.
This confused me, but something rang a bell. I've done this, but not known it by that term. At http://www.pbase.com/wlhuber/100_crop_ there's a complete explanation with pictures for anyone else that is confused.
I've just thought of it as using the marquee tool to crop.

Thanks Tony. Essentially then, any crop that is then displayed in the original size, is considered a 100% crop, yes?
Your image editor probably shows you what zoom level you are at.
I didn't think my explanation was that confusing.....but my mind works for me and teaching is difficult....particularly in a conversational form.
I guess I should add that the reason I would indicate it was at 100% is a way to explain that a larger image is not available.
It was not my intent to imply that your explanation was confusing. Lay the blame on the reader: me. The longer, more detailed, explanation in the link made it clearer to me. The pictures helped.
I had not heard of the term "100 percent crop" in this context. I've done it, but without knowing the term. Something I picked up in a book and learned, but forgot the term.
Take solace in that bringing it up has encouraged people to understand it and possibly use it. You've helped.

NO PROBLEM, Tony.
Having gone blind learning PS CS4 this winter...I can relate. Either you get it or you don't.

So how do you measure the % of crop. I crop, but I don't know what the % is. How do you guys know?, and what does the actual % mean?
Thanks

Cattle Egrets are one of my favorites.
Hope one of our knowledgeable folks answers the % of crop question, I would like to know too.

Ya gotta always get a charge out of finding something new especially here in the midwest.
I too appreciate the explanation of 100% crop.

Thanks for the confirmation, Harry.
I was pleasently surprised.

I've been to Florida many times...mostly in my youth. Then I was interested in other things!
