Cropping lets you show only the part of the bitmap image you want; the rest is hidden. Cropped portions of the bitmap are retained so you can uncrop them later.
Cropping is an editing technique that can improve your final drawing. For example, you can eliminate distracting areas of an image to help focus on the center of interest. You also can crop to eliminate errors or to help fit the bitmap into the layout.
Cropping an image in Designer involves two steps: creating a rectangular mask large enough to show the desired area, and moving the image so that the correct area shows through the mask.
