Cropping images in cells
If you're looking to be more specific about which areas of your image to print,
you can crop your image instead of using the above Image Options. PhotoPlus
supports some sophisticated cropping options, especially the ability to crop
using the image or the image's cell dimensions.
To crop an image:
1. From the dialog, select an image from the lower gallery and click Crop
Image.
2. From the Crop Image dialog, choose an Aspect Ratio from the drop-down
list which dictates the proportions of your crop area grid: Unconstrained
creates a grid which can be proportioned in any way; Cell matches to cell
dimensions; Image maintains image dimensions; Custom uses a custom
constrained ratio (e.g., a square) that you define yourself in the adjacent
input boxes.
Unconstrained Cell Image
(default)
Custom
(e.g., 1.00 x 1.00 in)
3. Drag a crop area's corner to size your crop according to requirements, then
move the grid around the image to choose the preferred image area to be
cropped. To revert, click Clear to reset your crop grid.
4. Click OK.
If your image is already present in your layout then it will update automatically
to reflect the new cropping applied. If it hasn't yet been used, the crop is still
applied to the image in the image gallery.
Cropping affects every instance of the image. Once applied, all
images are updated.
