Cropping on Photobucket?

Please help! First off, what do you guys mean when you say 100% cropped? Secondly, what am I doing wrong on Photobucket? I took this pic...



and then cropped off some of the sides & got this...



Seems like the spider got smaller.

Any ideas?

http://www.pbase.com/wlhuber/100_crop_

it's a term often used to show details magnified where you normally could not see shrunk down for viewing on the web. also known as pixel peeping.

my example where i showed a picture of my neighbor's fence across the street and a 100% portion where you can make out the honeycomb and wasp details.

btw, scary spider!

open your image and then type 'c' to Crop under Photoshop.

OK... A 100% crop did this...




The problem is that it doesn't capture the whole spider.

Next I tried using the Crop Tool (c)
and got this...




Am I not using the right tools? What size should I make the image?

I'm confused. I'm basically getting the crop stuff, but I think I want to trim the image to get rid of the excess black & center the spider. Any ideas?

Next image, I reduced to 1024 x 768 in Photobucket. Seems to take some of the impact away from the spider & details are lost.

Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.
