Trimming properties dialog box

Shortcut

Toolbar:

The trimming properties dialog box offers the following controls:

Trimmed image size (pixels)

Use these entry fields to set the width and height of the trimmed image in pixels. When you are timming by marking corners, The Panorama Factory computes the default trimmed size from the first set of corners you mark, but you can use these entry fields to override. If you have overridden the values, you can set them to zero to request The Panorama Factory to recompute the default size.

Trimming tool

Use this control to change the choice of trimming method. (Note that the Trim menu and the tool bar offer two of these three choices.)

Corners

Trims imported images by marking the four corners of the images. See Trim marking corners.

Fixed size rectangle

Trims imported images with a fixed size rectangle. See Trim rectangle.

Cropping-style rectangle

Trim imported images using the same type of rectangle used by the Crop command.

Trimming edges (pixels)

Use these entry fields to set margins on the trimming source.

Positive numbers reduce the size of the trimming region. When you use the Corners method, the edges of the trimming region typically skim along the edges of the source image. Slightly reducing the size of the trimming region eliminates the possibility of including a few pixels that are actually outside the frame.

Negative numbers enlarge the trimming region. You can use this to add a border around the trimming region.
