Since you're on Linux , you can install Inkscape in no time and discover with me how to crop an image or photo.
You have taken a photo and would like to see only part of it appear.
That's it, Inkscape is installed, open it.
Below is an open Inkscape.
Don't worry about the large number of tools on your left or the numerous menus at the top of the software, we'll only use a few tools to crop our photo.
First, we will display the photo to be cropped in Inkscape.
Click the “File” menu and choose Open.
From there, you'll find the photo you want to crop.
The photo is open and you only want the head of the beautiful giraffe.
Click on the square icon on your left.
Now, you'll draw a rectangle that encompasses the element you want to cut, as shown below. Don't worry about the color of your rectangle, whether it's full or empty.
At least have the outline of your rectangle.
In the example below, I've framed the area where you can select the outline and fill colors for your rectangle, which can be backgroundless.
Once you've drawn your rectangle, if its position doesn't suit you, you can still move it or even change its dimensions.
To do this, simply select the arrow at the top of the icons.
Arrows then appear around the rectangle, which you can click to enlarge or reduce it. Clicking on an edge of the rectangle also allows you to move it.
Ready, is the rectangle in the right place and size?
We'll do the cutting.
1- Press the CTRL and A keys on your keyboard at the same time to select the photo and the rectangle.
2 – Click the “Object” menu, select “Cut” and then “Define”
.
And here is the result.
You've cropped your photo, now you need to save it as a new image.
To do this, select the “File” menu and then “Export to Bitmap.”
Give your new image the name you want and select “Export.”
