If I read in a very large .tiff file from our handy dandy mac scanner,
I need to crop it down for a display that will fit the screen.
This involves shrinking the image 50%, and cropping from the
top and the bottom.

To remove from the top, take pixels from the bottom. And versa visa...(sp?)

I use the sgi save format, and it reverses things yet again. I
can make only symmetrical crops from the top and bottom to get things
almost ok.

Is this a known problem (I am running 4.0.2 on an Indigo) ?
When will we have some kind of overlay box outline cropping facility ?
I do like the numeric entry for creating nice, symmetrical, even
sized images. However, I spend a lot of time guessing at the numbers
to get things to come out ok. I have to guess a lot because what
the numbers do is not what you would expect from the gizmos!

Cheers!

Dan.
