If you are cropping a section of a full image, it will be important to maintain control of the shading so that it does not make an awkward barrier between the selected part and the rest of the image. If you fail to do this then your work will not come out looking professional. Try to keep different versions of the same image so that you can track the movement from one state to the next.
