Manipulate photos Right click on an image (or use the toolbar at the top of the screen) to make changes. You can change size vertically (up and down) You can change size horizontally (side to side) You can crop, or cut off pieces. You can rotate at an angle
Size changes Click on the corner and hold down the shift button to make smaller or larger in both directions. Click on a side to squish or stretch. Original size
Cropping Use the crop tool to ‘cut off’ part of an image. Pull from the identified black sides or corners to ‘cut off’ from there. Gray will overlap the part of the image you plan to cut off. Double click to have your cuts take effect.
Rotation Use the green circle as a ‘handle’ for the image and rotate by dragging the mouse.  You can also choose to use the standard rotation options, which turns images by 90 degrees at a time in either direction.  Use the ‘flip’ button to have your picture mirrored in the opposite way.
