3. Click in the image, and, holding down the mouse button, drag the crop tool until you??™ve
drawn a rectangular outline around the part of the image you want to keep. If you are
cropping to an arbitrary aspect ratio, there will be no restrictions on the height or width
of the crop. If you are cropping to a specific print proportion, on the other hand, the
proportions of the crop box will be constrained by the print aspect ratio you selected.
