Crop an image

Cropping an image means reducing its size be removing unwanted parts (usually around the image or borders). But this is done without resizing the image content. This may be useful if interesting part of an image is not properly centered.

1. Create a New File Browser window by choosing File Menu/Browse Files (Ctrl+Alt+O).

2. Browse your disks and select the appropriate folder in the left pane. The media files included in the folder appear in the right pane.
