Cropping Tool

When you click the cropping tool you will see a grid appear in front of your photo.

You will also see your cursor shaped like a cross(above)

This will allow you to move the grid around the photo to select the part you want to keep.

You can adjust the size of the grid by hovering over one of the squares on the grid border. When you see the double arrow heads left-click your mouse to resize in or out.

Once you have the grid positioned how you want it, click the Crop tool button again and everything outside the grid will vanish.

When you close the picture your changes will be saved. If you made a mistake use the UNDO button or CTRL+Z.
