Hello,

Is there anyway to edit a photo in PD18? I have some photos where I want to crop the image or cut an area out. Make my masks better.

PhotoDirector does not have this ability.
Is this possible in PD18?

Thanks,

V

The crop tool is located in the top left of PhotoDirector in Adjustments.

In PD18 highlight the photo on the timeline and a crop tool button will appear on the top left just above the timeline.

Highlight an image on track 1 on your timeline. Look one quarter of one inch above that image and look all the way to the left to see the button that has an expanding square symbol. It is the same bar just above the timeline that has say designer, tools, keyframes, etc. for videos if you click on a video instead.

Hi Veepo -

tomasc has explained that you can crop photos in both PhD & PDR. Maybe these screenshots will help point you in the right direction.

Because your timeline scrubber is at a video clip in the timeline, move to a pic and you should have it.
