Manual cropping

Cropping is a method of recomposing the image by eliminating unnecessary space around the subject. Many images are improved by cutting out distracting elements in the background.

Clicking the auto-cropping button to display the cropping frame marquee.

To enlarge or reduce the cropping frame, place the mouse pointer over the corners or sides of the cropping frame; the pointer will change to a double arrow. Simply click and drag the edge of the frame to adjust the cropping area.

To move the cropping frame, place the mouse pointer in the center of the cropping frame; the pointer will change to a four-pointed arrow. Simply click and drag the entire frame over the image area.

With the pointer is outside the cropping frame, click and drag to define a new cropping frame.

Pressing the auto-cropping button again resets the cropping frame around the image area. The cropping frame can be reset to cover the full prescan area by pressing the control key (Windows) or the command key (Macintosh) and A key at the same time.

Prescanning the cropped area

Click the crop-prescan button to make a prescan of the cropped area. To view the entire image again, press the prescan button; the cropping frame can be adjusted or reset.
