Thanks for taking the time to read my question.

I am using the cropping tool and have selected my area and cropped. I need to shave a bit more off of the bottom, so I select the entire image (now cropped from the original image) with the cropping tool, then try to move the bottom line up using the handle (box on bottom line) but it seems to jump up a certain amount. I only need to go up a few pixels, but the crop tool seems to have a min distance from the sides and bottom that it will allow. Is this a setting? It’s like it has a footer area or something.

Thanks again,

Brad

Hold Ctrl as you drag, to stop the border from snapping.

You could also shave off one edge with Resize Canvas.

When selecting the area to crop, is there a way to see the dimensions of the area you’re selecting?

Open the Info panel, you’ll see it under W: and H:
