How do I crop images using Picasa?

You can use Picasa's crop feature to remove unwanted parts of any photo. Cropping can also be used to improve the composition of a photo.

To crop a photo, first open it in the editing window by double-clicking on it in the Lightbox, then select the Basic Fixes tab and click on the Crop button.

Crop

You can then select from preset dimensions, or you can click on Manual.

Crop Picture

If you select Manual, you can drag and drop in your image to create a bounding box. The parts of your image that will be cropped will be grayed out.

Bounding Box

Once you have drawn your bounding box, you can click on Preview to see a preview of the cropped image. If you are happy with the result, click on Apply to perform the crop.
