Manipulating Images 105

To crop unconstrained:

1. From the Tools toolbar's Crop Tools flyout, select the Crop

Tool. Ensure the Unconstrained option is set in the Context toolbar's first

drop-down list.

2. Drag out a rectangle to create an unconstrained rectangle, then fine-tune

the areas dimensions if needed by dragging the edges. Note that you can

also constrain the crop area to be a square, by holding down the Ctrl key

while dragging.

3. To crop to the designated size, double-click inside the crop area.

The Shading check box and Opacity option on the Context toolbar sets the

shade color and transparency of the unwanted region outside the rectangle,

respectively. Uncheck Shading to view only the rectangle, with no shading and

full transparency.

Cropping with the Crop Tool affects all image layers. Everything outside

the designated region is eliminated. If there's a marquee-based selection,

it is ignored and deselected during cropping.

To crop to a specific print size or resolution:

1. Select the Crop Tool from the Tools toolbar.

2. Then either:

For print sizes, choose a pre-defined print size from the first drop-down

menu in the Context toolbar. Both portrait and landscape crop regions

can be selected—e.g., 4 x 6 in for portrait, 6 x 4 in for landscape.

If you need to set a custom size, enter values into the Height and

Width drop-down menus, choosing inches or centimeters as

measurement units in advance—note that the print size changes to

"Custom" after entering new values. The Print Size resolution alters

automatically while honouring your print Width and Height.

3. Drag out your crop area to create your constrained rectangle or square (if

Custom).

4. Double-click the crop area to crop to the designated size.
