5 Tools

Many of the tools in the Phase One application act in much the same way as the tools of popular image editing applications such as Adobe Photoshop. Many of these tools actually come from the traditional world; the cropping tool is the first example of this, mimicking the cropping “L’s” used by artists and photographers.

Cropping

Select the Crop tool (by clicking once on the tool button) from the upper right side of the Preview Window.

Move the on-screen pointer to the image to be cropped. Click and drag the mouse so that a box is drawn surrounding the area of the image to be kept. Then release the mouse button.

The rectangular box, which now surrounds part of the image, can be adjusted in size and position. There are points at the corners of this box that can be clicked and dragged, to change size and position. Double-clicking this tool allows you to set the crop box size and units.
