If required, rotate the picture to any angle from 0 to 359 degrees. For example, this is useful for straightening scanned pictures.
When the picture is rotated between the 90 degree steps, the picture is made larger and the detected background color is added. If there is no distinctive background color, white is used.
Note: The size of the crop box may vary if the picture is rotated.
Select All: Select the whole of the picture.
Automatic: Select the smallest rectangle that includes all colors that are not the background color.
Note: Sometimes the automatic crop area may not appear to remove as much background as possible. This can happen when the background color appears to be a plain color such as white, but actually has minor variations that are not immediately visible. For example, this often happens with the JPEG-JFIF Compliant (*.jpg, .jif, .jpeg) picture format.
Drag the rotational slider to rotate the picture to the desired angle.
Alternatively, enter a number in the rotation angle number box, or use the arrows to increase or decrease the angle of rotation.
Drag the handles on the crop area boundary line to select the desired part of the picture.
Hold the Shift key while dragging to resize the rectangle proportionally.
Hold the Option key while dragging to resize the rectangle without moving its center.
Drag anywhere inside the crop box to move the crop box.
Note: If you need to expand a crop box again, make sure it is not touching the edge of the frame, as this will stop it expanding.
If desired, click Automatic to select the crop lines automatically, or click Select All to use the whole of the picture.
To remove the effects of perspective in a picture, or to correct skew, select Perspective Correction . When using Perspective Correction, the crop handles are red.
Drag the red handles so that the crop lines frame the picture. Use the Zoom tools to view the outline of the picture more clearly. Drag the Stretch Picture slider to make the picture in the Preview wider or narrower. Use Save Picture to save your edited picture.
Use the Zoom bar to change the view of the picture. Zoom in (drag the slider to the right) to magnify the view. Zoom out (drag the slider to the left) to shrink the view.
When zoomed in, use the scroll bars or swipe to move around.
