If required, rotate the picture to any angle from 0 to 359 degrees. This can be useful when straightening scanned pictures.

To obtain more detail on an individual’s face it is often helpful to crop so that only the head and part of the shoulders are shown.
Sometimes, the automatic crop area may not appear to remove as much background color 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.
Click and drag anywhere inside the crop box to move the crop box.
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.
