Crop

Crop surrounds the image with a crawling dashed line. Move the mouse cursor to the middle of the dashed line. The cursor will change to an edge-arrow shape. Click and drag on the dashed line to select the desired region of the image, then press the space bar or any other key. The image will be cropped and the region outside the box will be removed. Pressing the Escape key will abort cropping.

If part of the image is off the edge of the screen, use Shift+arrow (hold down the left or right Shift key and press the arrows on the numeric keypad).

The amount of movement is determined by the Step size. This can be adjusted by pressing the gray (+) or (-) keys. The default step size is 8 pixels.
