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
