The modern usage of the word has evolved to encompass various contexts, primarily within agriculture and image editing. In agriculture, cropping has been vital for food production, tracing back thousands of years when early civilizations began cultivating land. In the realm of photography, cropping emerged with the advent of photo editing techniques in the 19th century, allowing photographers to refine their images for artistic expression.
