Designing and Crafting Basic Pages
To crop an image, follow these steps:
1. Select the image you want to crop.
2. In the Property inspector, click the Crop button.
3. Dreamweaver displays an alert to warn you that the cropping operation changes the
selected image; click OK to clear the dialog. A shaded border appears within the selected
image (see Figure 9-8).
FIGURE 9-8
A positionable, shaded border appears so that you can crop your images onscreen.
4. Drag the selection handles that appear in the middle of each side to crop the image in a
single direction; the cursor changes to a two-headed arrow when in the correct position to
crop a side.
5. To move the entire cropping area, drag the highlighted rectangle into the desired position;
you can move the cropping area when the cursor is shown as a four-headed arrow.
6. To cancel the cropping operation, click anywhere outside the graphic.
7. Complete the crop by double-clicking within the image.
After cropping, you can reverse the effect by choosing Edit ➪ Undo—but only until the page is
saved or sent to an external graphics editor.
