The process usually consists of the removal of some of the peripheral areas of an image to remove extraneous visual data from the picture, improve its <a href="/facts/Framing_(visual_arts)/7eWrzSFU">framing</a>, change the <a href="/facts/Aspect_ratio_(image)/I3vbqVl3">aspect ratio</a>, or accentuate or isolate the subject matter from its background. Depending on the application, this can be performed on a physical photograph, artwork, or film footage, or it can be achieved <a href="/facts/Workstation/h5tK4hTt">digitally</a> by using <a href="/facts/Image_editing/l5LvzVBa">image editing</a> <a href="/facts/Software/RP79lVSW">software</a>.
