If you add picture frames to your publication, you can position your
placed picture using pan and zoom instead of using the Square Crop
Tool.
Cropping pictures to shapes
The Crop to Shape command lets you create shaped pictures from
drawn closed shapes (below) or silhouettes placed over your picture. The
picture gets clipped to the outline of the shape, leaving a shape
equivalent to the overlapping region.
To crop a picture using shapes:
1. Place the shape in front of the picture to be cropped, using the
Arrange menu and/or Arrange toolbar as needed.
2. With both objects selected (or grouped), choose Crop to Shape
from the Tools menu.
You can restore an object cropped in this way to its original shape, but
the upper "cropping" object is permanently deleted (use Undo to recover
it if necessary).
