This page aims to illustrate how the Framing Rules allow you to crop images to a wider format while at the same time making it impossible for Googles auto-crop routine to ruin your shots. 4 examples are presented.

To make such perfect wider crops takes a lot of experience or a few tries before you get it right. You don't need to center and fill the frame perfectly every time, but you need to understand the principles involved to ensure you pics will always look great.
