Crop

You can cut a rectangular segment out of an image. It is possible to crop an image of any size and of any of the types supported. All of the image information outside the rectangle will be discarded.

Use the Image > Crop... command, for example, to cut off borders an image that you do not need. This reduces the size of your file considerably. A benefit when you save or load an image.

Alternatively, you can use the Crop button. You will find this button on the Toolbox toolbar.
