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!
