Cropping an image

To crop an image, make sure you have brought up the 'Edit slide media' window. Then select the image you wish to adjust and then select the 'Crop' tab. PhotoVidShow can not currently crop a video.

To perform a crop, make sure the 'Crop enabled' option is selected. This then brings up a rectangle region in the preview area, showing the area that is to be cropped. This region can then be moved by left clicking on the rectangle and holding whilst moving the mouse. You can adjusted the size of the region with the yellow tracker markers.

Sometimes it is useful to crop a region with a specific aspect ratio. E.g. if you wanted the cropped area to fill a normal 16:9 widescreen slide. To do this left click on the corresponding aspect button.

Selecting the 'Lock aspect' option will mean that any adjustment to the size of the cropped region will retain the current aspect ratio.

Note: PhotoVidShow will only update the preview slide window of the newly cropped region after a period of inactivity or if another tab option has been selected.
