Ok so maybe I lied - editing pictures can sometimes be the hardest thing to do, deciding which ones to make Black & White or Sepia tones and which levels of those tones. You have to look at the picture and play - that's usually the optimal way to decide how to edit your pictures.
With cropping though, its best to just remove any overt background 'noise' or things in the picture you do not want...ex your taking a picture of your friends standing on a busy street, or in front of a nice building and when you get it back to your online studio you discover there's an ad for a hot dog stand right off to the side of your friend...cropping will allow you to remove this. Use cropping also to create effect, get close-in to your subject, or focus on one aspect of the subject. Use your imagination!
Below are some pics that I've edited using www.picnik.com as a basic editor. I don't have photoshop, don't know how to use it, so I stick with the basics!
Enjoy!
