Importing: Crop the Image

Overview:
The first tab at the bottom of the window lets you select a portion of the image to import. Click and drag the mouse in the image window to draw a box around the face of the younger child in the picture, then release the mouse and click the “Crop” button. The preview image will be replaced with a picture of the area that you had selected with the mouse. For this tutorial, we want to use both kids, so click the “Undo Crop” button and the image will be replaced with the original picture.

Sample: The image to the right shows an example of how you could draw a box around an area of the image should you want to crop it. In this tutorial we will use the entire image. When working with your own images, should you only need part of the image, you now know how to crop it!
