You can also use the Crop tool to “hard-crop” an image, which adds or removes pixels, as an alternative to using the Area > Crop com- mand. See “To remove pixels when cropping an image” on page 32.641, and “To add pixels with the Crop tool” on page 32.641. To crop without deleting pixels 1 Select the Crop tool in the Painting Tools toolbar and point to the image you want to crop. 2 With the crop pointer, click the image. Canvas displays a rect- angle with hollow handles. This cropping rectangle defines the out- side edges of the image after cropping. 3 Position the cropping rectangle to frame the part of the image that you want to keep. •   Drag a corner handle to resize the cropping rectangle. •   Drag a side to move the cropping rectangle. The pointer changes to a hand when you point to a side. 4 Press Esc to crop the image, or click in the image. Canvas hides the part of the image outside the cropping rectangle. To restore a cropped image You can select a paint object and choose Remove Effects in the Effects menu to remove a soft crop. Or, use the following procedure: 1 Click the image with the Crop tool. Canvas displays the full image area and the cropping rectangle. 2 Drag the corner handles outward so the entire image is inside the cropping rectangle, and then press Enter (Mac) or Esc (Win- dows), or click in the image. A gavel appears in crop mode when the pointer is in the image. Click to complete the crop. This symbol appears if the pointer is outside the image in crop mode A hand appears in crop mode when you point to a side of the cropping rectangle. Drag to move the rectangle. The soft crop pointer indicates cropping will be temporary The hard crop pointer indicates cropping will be permanent
