Resize and Crop Images

Resize Resizing Images

The resize function will alter the size of your image. Unlike zooming, which only changes the displayed size of the image, Resize will permanently alter the height and width of the image.

To display the Resize dialog select Edit > Resize Image.

restore flash disk bar-code label design and printing hard disk data recovery
usb port locker notebook data recovery compact flash data recovery software
restore memory stick files best file recovery tool recover deleted memory card files

You can set a new image size by altering either:

  1. The size in pixels of the destination image
  2. The percentage increase over the original.

If you do not wish to maintain the aspect ratio of the image you can deselect the 'Maintain aspect ratio' option and set the new height and width of image individually.

Controls:

Toolbar: Resize (On Image Toolbar)
Menu: Edit > Resize
Keyboard: Ctrl+Alt+R

Crop Image Cropping Images

If an image has a blank or unwanted area along its edges you can trim it using the image crop.

Note: Smart Pix Manager uses a lossless algorithm for JPEG cropping so there is no reduction in image quality.

To crop an image:

  1. Select Crop (Edit > Crop Image)
  2. Select the portion of the image that you want to keep (everything outside of your selection will be removed).
  3. Click OK

You can "nudge" the selection rectangle by using the cursor keys (or Shift+Cursor to change the width or height)

Selection Shape

If you click 'Selection Shape' under "Crop Settings", you can specify different shapes to crop the image to. If you chose a shape other than the default rectangular selection, you will need to specify the color that is used to replace the cropped section.

Crop Binding

If you select 'Snap selection to..' under "Crop Settings", you can enable the crop binding function. This function causes Smart Pix Manager to automatically resize the selection to common photo printing sizes when you release the mouse key.

Note:

Advanced users can crop images by selecting a portion of the image in the main window (Edit >Cursor Action) and then clicking Ctrl+Alt+X

If lossless rotation is enabled then the final result may be slightly different than your selection due to the alignment of JPEG storage blocks.

Controls:

Toolbar: Crop Image (On Image Toolbar)
Menu: Edit > Crop Image
Keyboard: Ctrl+Alt+C
