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.

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.

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:

■

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.
