    Default How to crop a photo in Freehand

    Hello there, I hope you can help me. I need to crop a photo and all I have is Freehand. I'm very new to this program and I have very little time to learn it, so if anybody can please spare some time to answer this, I will be very very grateful.

    Please give me instructions (step by step) on how to use the Crop command in Freehand. I realised it's not as simple as cropping a picture in Word or Photoshop (or is it?)

    Thank you!!!

    Default Re: How to crop a photo in Freehand

    import photo into FH
    select rectangle tool
    draw a rectangle over the photo as you would like to crop it
    select photo
    cut it
    select rectangle
    choose from menu "edit" - "paste contents"("paste inside" in previous FH versions)

    photo should appear now in rectangle leaving cropped area unvisible
    you can use any other vector shape besides rectangle

    alt-click on photo to move it within rectangle
    rectangle remains editable as any other path
    group the rectangle if you want to resize both rectangle and its contents

    also there is hidden crop tool in freehand, i´ve had suggested to hit c key to get it but these shortcuts are not working in PC FHMXa if you are on Mac you may try it. there is problem with it - FH will lose crops made with crop tool
