Tool
Align layers and other objects.
As the mouse pointer turns into a
small hand, click on the layer to be
moved. You can choose several
layers to be aligned by clicking the
Shift key. When a layer is selected,
the "Relative to" drop-down list in
the Tool Options shows the object
the selected layer will be aligned to.
The Offset option controls the
amount of displacement (it can also
be negative) that could be given to
the desired alignment effect.
Crop Tool
Remove borders or eliminate
unwanted areas.
The area to be cropped is selected
by holding down the mouse button.
Once the area is selected, small
squares appear on its corners. These
squares allow changing the size of
the area that will not be cropped. To
make additional settings go to the
Crop section in the Tool Options.

Using the tool options you can set
