Cropping Images<br />

The image is much wider than my place holder. Let’s<br />

use the crop tool to adjust the width. Click the image<br />

once to select it and click the crop tool.<br />

Notice that the complete image is still there. The drawing<br />

tool is non-destructive. Use the black handles to<br />

move the right crop area to match the width of the<br />

placeholder. Don’t worry yet if the image isn’t looking<br />

the way you intend.<br />

Use the blue corner handles to drag in the image and<br />

make it smaller. I’ll make mine smaller so that the right<br />

of the image fills in the rectangle. The smart guides will<br />

help you align the edges of the image to the cropped<br />

area.<br />

The image has been cropped to match the placeholder.<br />

My image is missing a large part on the right and isn’t<br />

centered on what I want to show.<br />

After resizing the image, the area I want to show is not<br />

in the cropped area of the rectangle. To move the image,<br />

click inside the cropped area and move the image<br />

around. Click outside the image to see what it looks like.<br />
