Erasing parts of an image
To erase a part of image, choose the tool from the toolbox. You can change the size of the eraser. The erased areas will be replaced with a selected background colour.

Shear: Lets you shear (skew) the image by arbitrary angle.
Crop: Lets you cut a part off trim the image.The contents of the selected part will replace the whole image.
Resize: Lets you resize the image. It works only with the whole image. Choose new dimensions in the Width and Height fields.
