Cropping photos and objects

Follow this procedure to select an area of interest in a photo or other object,
and crop or remove the rest of the object.
To crop an object:
1
If you want to crop a photo or any other object in a PhotoSuite project
file, select it in the Canvas.
2 On the Fix your photos tab, click Crop.
The object is enclosed by a dashed box. The borders of the box are
called crop lines. Squares, called resize handles, are located in the
corners. The area of the photo inside the crop lines is called the area of
interest. This is the area that is kept, while everything outside of the
crop lines is removed.
3
Select a dimension for the crop area, or move the crop lines to outline
the area that you want to keep. Use any of the following methods to
move the crop lines:

Note If you save a cropped photo in PhotoSuite format (.dmsp),
the entire original photo is preserved, including the crop settings.
If you save the cropped photo in any other format, the cropped
area is permanently deleted.
Drag anywhere on the horizontal or vertical crop lines to move
them individually.
Drag the resize handles to maintain the aspect ratio.
Press and hold Shift and drag the resize handles to move both the
horizontal and vertical crop lines without maintaining the aspect
ratio.
Move the cursor over the area of interest and click and drag the
crop lines to another location without changing the dimensions
of the area of interest.
