Last you can crop the image if you like. Normally I don't crop raw images because I like to have the full size image available for future use. But the crop tool is available and very useful for later image manipulation, to remove unwanted or unnecessary areas of the image, to make it fit into a restricted dimension, it also makes the size of the image smaller (size of disc space, in KB), etc.

I also don't change the resolution or image size of the raw images. I like to have the full size and native resolution available for future use. That's all for the raw images. They get saved and recorded for future use. Save your raw images as Photoshop files, not tiff or pict, or compressed as jpg, at this time. You use these other formats for different outputs.
