Using Photo Finale
Rotate, Crop, and Resize
|
After selecting a print size a dotted box will appear over your photo. The size you selected is displayed outside the upper left corner of the crop box (D). Click inside the box and drag to reposition the box on your photo. To change the size of the crop box click on a corner and drag the box larger or smaller. Note: Significant cropping may affect image quality depending on the original resolution of your photo and how large you print it.
Once the crop box is framed as you wish over the photo click OK. Click Cancel to exit the cropping mode without changing your photo (E). The No Constraint (F) option allows you to move the crop box without regard to proportions. This may allow you to crop the photo as you wish, however when it is printed it may not fit into a standard photo size. By choosing a standard print size you know the final print will be almost identical to your cropping choice. We recommend saving your cropped photo as a copy, instead of replacing your original. This allows you to change your cropping later if you have cropped too much or change you mind about the composition. Choose Save As to do this. |

Resize
Resize should only be used to reduce the resolution of a photo for use in an application where a large file is not necessary, such as Power Point, or a Word document. We recommend saving a second copy of your file before you resize it, this way you have the full resolution file as well.
Select the photo and click Photo then Resize.

the Resize Photo tool
Choose either a percentage of the original size or type in a specific resolution to change the photo to. If you are typing in the resolution, be sure to check the Maintain Aspect Ratio box (G) to avoid distorting the photo.
