Crop Button: Usually this button is gray, which indicates
that the crop tool is active. When the crop tool is active, you
are able to click and drag on the preview image to create and
manipulate the crop area. However, some tools, such as the
color pickers, change the cursor so that it selects colors instead
of defining a crop area. When one of these tools is active, the
crop button is white. To return to the crop tool, click on the
crop button.
Note the following points about working with the crop and size tools:
• When you work with a scanner, you will typically know the target
output dimensions and resolution. If so, first enter the dimensions in
the Height and Width fields and choose the output resolution from the
PPI pop-up menu. en click on the lock icon so that it is closed (this
will lock your height and width settings). You are now able to click and
drag the crop area to define the composition of your image - the Zoom
value automatically tracks your changes without changing the height,
width, or PPI of your output image.
• To set the crop area, place the mouse cursor over the preview image.
Click and hold over one corner of the area you wish to scan and drag
the cursor away to outline the area. Release the mouse button to select
the area.
• To move the crop area, place the mouse cursor inside the outline, then
click and drag the area. Release the button to drop the area again.
• To resize the crop area, place the mouse cursor over one of the sides or
corners. e cursor will change into a double sided arrow. Click and
drag the side or corner to stretch or shrink the area.
