6.22. Crop Image

You can crop image in two ways:

6.22.1. Beskjer til utvalet

Kommandoen Beskjer til utval beskjerer biletet til omrisset av det aktive utvalet ved å fjerne dei delane av biletet som er fullstendig utanfor utvalet. Område som er delvis utvalde, t.d. med mjuke kantar, vert ikkje berørte. Dersom det ikkje finst utval i biletet, er kommandoen gråa ut og utilgjengeleg.

[Notat] Notat

This command crops all of the image layers. To crop the active layer only, use the Crop to selection command from the Layer menu.

You can access this command from the menu through ImageCrop to Selection.

6.22.2. Crop to content

Before GIMP-2.10, this command was named «Autocrop image» and functioned a bit different. The Crop to content command removes the borders from an image. It searches the layers for the largest possible border area that is all the same color, and then crops this area from the image, as if you had used the Crop tool.
