Re-size and Crop an Image

The image cropper tool allows you to re-size and crop an image that is uploaded in your account.  For Example, if you have a photo that you would like to use, but only want to use a specific part of the photo, you can use the Image Cropper tool to crop out all areas of the photo that you do not want to be displayed.  Once your image is cropped, you will not be able to "un-crop".

Step 1:     Click on Library Generator, then on the Images sub tab.
Step 2:     In the Images block, click on the name of an image.

                 Image Resize (-) or (+) buttons. Each click represents a 25% increase or

                 part of your image will be seen once your image is cropped. To move the box, use the Image Editor arrows (below) to position the gray box on the image.
