[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1920022, member: 396914"] Actually, there is a cropping tool, but it's not intuitive. Move the cursor in the image to the upper left corner of what you want to keep, then click/drag to the bottom right of what you want. A box will appear on the screen to show you the selected area. Now on the menu bar click "Edit" and then "Copy." That will copy what is inside the box. Now click on File and "New From Clipboard" and Preview will create a new file from what is inside the box, effectively cropping everything outside it. Now click File/Save and give it a name. Another way to go about it if you want to eliminate just one edge is to set the box on one corner, then click/drag to enclose what you want to get rid of and then click Edit/Delete and it will be removed from the image. Either way works, but I tend to use the first way as a default because that leaves the original image as it was, just in case I make a hash of it. [/QUOTE]
