    Note

    • For borderless layouts, drag the white squares on the image to adjust the cropping area.
    • To move the cropping area, place the cursor within the white frame and drag it. To enlarge or reduce the cropping area, drag the white frame.

    • To display guide lines, select the Display guides for the rule of thirds checkbox. To create a balanced image, place an intersection of the guide lines over the main subject such as a person or building.

    • To lock the aspect ratio when setting the cropping area, select the Fixed Aspect Ratio checkbox.

Note

  • Cropping applies only to the print result; the original image will not be affected. The original image will not be cut off.
