Cropping and Rotating a Picture


PP07S-3.5.1

You can crop clip art to isolate just one portion of the picture. Because clip art uses vector image technology, you can crop even the smallest part of it and then enlarge it, and the clip art will still be recognizable. You can also crop bitmapped pictures, but if you enlarge the area you cropped, you lose picture detail. Use the crop button to crop an image by hand. You can also crop using the Size and Position dialog box, which gives you precise control over the dimensions of the area you want to crop. You can also rotate a picture by increments or freehand.
