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.
You can constrain the crop area to 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 colour 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 marqueebased
selection, it is ignored and deselected during cropping.
