To restore a cropped image:
You can select a paint object and choose Effects | Remove Effects to remove a soft crop. Or, use the
following procedure:
1. Click the image with the Crop tool. Canvas displays the full image area and the cropping
rectangle.
2. Drag the corner handles outward so the entire image is inside the cropping rectangle, and
then press Esc, or click in the image.
Cropping an image
Adjust the cropping rectangle with the Crop tool by dragging a handle. Enclose the area you want to
keep, and then press Esc to hide the cropped part of the image.
To remove pixels when cropping an image:
In hard-crop mode, the Crop tool discards pixels that are outside the cropping rectangle.
Quickly crop or expand a paint object using the Selection tool. Select the paint object (don’t
put it in edit mode), then Ctrl-drag a handle to crop or add pixels to the image. When you
drag, the cropping rectangle and handles appear. When you release the mouse, Canvas
applies a hard crop.
