1.	Do one of the following:

•Create a dummy image, as explained in Add a dummy image on a page in Fred4, or select an existing dummy on the page

fred_cropwirepic3

•If dealing with articles, select a linked image placeholder in an article.

2.	On the Wires or Tark4 navigator of the Pages main tab, drag a wire or Tark image onto a dummy image or placeholder. You can do it on a read-only page too. Note: ensure that you've selected an "image" and not an "editorial image"!

3.	Release the mouse button: the Crop dialog box is displayed, with the crop mask automatically sized to the dummy image size:

4.	Move the crop mask on the most appropriate position, and/or scale it if required. To scale the crop mask, drag handles, or enter values in the Crop Width and Crop Height boxes.

Please note that the value in the Scale box changes when you scale the crop mask. Bear in mind that crop destinations may have a scale limit built-in. This makes sure that the sent image won't be resized too much. The scale limit is displayed under Scale Limit (%).

Optionally, rotate or flip the image, and add some notes.

5.	In Destination, select the crop destination (the copy of image will be sent there). Usually, select the image desk destination.

6.	Click Finish when done.

7.	The confirmation is displayed. Click Close. The image appears in the placeholder.
