Content > Image Manager > Edit an image
Once you have uploaded images you can edit them by clicking on the edit icon under each image (edit image here). The image will then be shown in a popup window with a toolbar with six options.
This is what you can do:
Crop:
To crop an image, select Crop in the toolbar. Draw a box with your mouse to select what part of the image to keep. The part of the image within the rectangle is what will be kept and the greyed-out area outside it will be removed from the image.
You can change the size of the rectangle by dragging the small boxes in the corners and along the sides. You can also move the part of the image to be kept by clicking in the rectangle and drag it.
When you have selected what area of the image to keep press the OK button (OK button here) and your image will be cropped. To cancel any changes instead press the Cancel button (Cancel button here).
Resize:
Resizing an image is good if you’d like to reduce the file size of a large image. To resize an image, select Resize in the toolbar. To make the image smaller or bigger, drag the boxes in the corners or along the sides of the image. By default proportions are constrained. To resize an image without keeping the proportions untick the Constain Proportions box.
You can also manually type the pixel width and height in the respective fields at the top.
To confirm the resize click the OK button (OK button image here). Or click Cancel to leave the image unchanged.
Rotate:
To rotate an image, click Rotate in the toolbar. If you want to flip the image, select Flip Horizontally or Flip Vertically in the drop-down box Flip Image. You must click the OK button for the changes to take effect.
If you want to rotate the image, select any of the options in the drop-down box Rotate Image. Or you could type any number from 1 to 360 in the field for angle to rotate. You must click the OK button for the changes to take effect.
Measure:
You can use the measure tool to determine the angle and to get information about the distance in pixels between two points of your image.
X and Y show the coordinates of the point where you first click (starting location). W and H show the horizontal and vertical distance respectively between imagined horizontal or vertical lines along the two points. A shows the angle (relative to the axis) and D the total distance in pixels between the two points.
Once you have made a measure you can click on rotate and the angle of the measure is selected in the rotate image field.
Marker:
By clicking on the marker tool in the toolbar you select if the marker lines will be black or white.
Save:
Naturally, clicking Save saves the changes you have made to the image. If you just close the window without clicking Save, the changes you have made will not be saved. (right?!?)
