THERE ARE SEVERAL TYPES OF CROPPING.
1. ANY SHAPE AND SIZE
2. A PRESET SIZE
3. A RELATIVE RATIO OF A PRESET SIZE
4. A RELATIVE RATIO OF THE ORIGINAL IMAGE SHAPE

1. ANY SHAPE AND SIZE
THE ACTUAL AREA USED TO GET THE CORRECT RESULT IS THE INSIDE OF THE SQUARE NOT AT THE OUTSIDE OF THE COLOR BORDER. TO MOVE THE SQUARE YOU MUST BE AT THE TOP OF THE PAGE. ADJUST THE SHAPE AND POSITION OF THE SQUARE UNTIL THE AREA OF THE PICTURE THAT LOOKS BEST IS INSIDE THE RECTANGLE. THEN PUSH THE P KEY CMD+X AND PRESS RETURN. THIS WILL PUT THE IMAGE IN IMAGEMAGICK. GO TO TRANSFORM AND CMD+V THE NUMBERS INTO THE INPUT. SELECT CROP AND PRESS THE TRANSFORM BUTTON. THE IMAGE IS THEN AVALABLE AT OUTPUT.

2. A PRESET SIZE
ADJUST THE WIDTH AND HEIGHT OF THE SQUARE TO THE DESIRED SIZE OBSERVING THE FIRST TWO DISPLAYED NUMBERS IN THE STATUS BAR.
THE NUMBERS REPRESENT
WXH+L+T
OR
NEW PICTURE WIDTH
X
NEW PICTURE HEIGHT
+
DISTANCE FROM THE LEFT OF THE ORIGINAL PICTURE
+
DISTANCE FROM THE TOP OF THE ORIGINAL PICTURE
OR
WIDTH x HEIGHT + LEFT + TOP
THE ALTERNATIVE IS TO TYPE THE NUMBERS IN THE BOTTOM INPUTS OF THE NEW SIZE CALCULATOR AND PRESS INPUT SIZE. THEN MOVE THE PRESET RECTANGLE TO THE CORRECT POSITION ON THE IMAGE. PUSH THE P KEY AND FOLLOW THE STEPS ABOVE TO FINISH.

3. A RELATIVE RATIO OF A PRESET SIZE
THE ORIGINAL WIDTH AND HEIGHT FOR THE RATIO MUST BE KNOWN THAT THE NEW PICTURE WILL SHOW. START BY SELECTING A WIDTH OR HEIGHT OF AN AREA ON THE IMAGE THAT IS IN THE CORRECT AREA FOR THE NEW IMAGE. USE KEYS 1-8 AND THE POSITIONING KEYS TO DO THIS. WHEN EITHER THE HEIGHT OR WIDTH IS DETERMINED GO TO THE NEW SIZE CALCUATOR AND INPUT THE ORIGINAL WIDTH AND HEIGHT AND THE NEW WIDTH OR HEIGHT. THEN PRESS INPUT SIZE. GO BACK TO THE IMAGE AND THE RECTANGLE WILL NOW BE THE RIGHT SIZE AND RATIO. POSITION IT FOR THE BEST RESULT THEN PRESS P AND PROCEED AS ABOVE.

4. A RELATIVE RATIO OF THE ORIGINAL IMAGE SHAPE
THIS IS THE SAME AS NUMBER 3 EXCEPT TO INPUT THE ORIGINAL VALUES FOR WIDTH AND HEIGHT INTO THE NEW SIZE CALCULATOR JUST PRESS X WHEN AT THE TOP OF THE PAGE.
