What is the crop mode? TextureMagic has two distinctive modes: The edit mode and the crop mode. When TextureMagic starts up it is in edit mode. The drawing tools, filters and effects are part of the edit mode. The crop mode is for transforming photographed surfaces into seamlessly tileable textures. It offers powerful tools to crop the seamless part of the surface and it helps in removing perspective. Then you switch back to the edit mode and get rid of the imperfection at the edges.
