Crop an image

Dreamweaver lets you crop (or trim) bitmap file images.

Note: When you crop an image, the source image file is changed on disk. For this reason, you may want to keep a backup copy of the image file in the event you need to revert to the original image.
  1. Open the page containing the image you want to crop, select the image, and do either of the following:

    • Click the Crop Tool icon  in the image Property inspector.

    • Select Modify > Image > Crop.

      Crop handles appear around the selected image.

  2. Adjust the crop handles until the bounding box surrounds the area of the image that you want to keep.
  3. Double-click inside the bounding box or press Enter to crop the selection.
  4. A dialog box informs you that the image file you are cropping will be changed on disk. Click OK. Every pixel in the selected bitmap outside the bounding box is removed, but other objects in the image remain.
  5. Preview the image and ensure that it meets your expectations. If not, select Edit > Undo Crop to revert to the original image.
    Note: You can undo the effect of the Crop command (and revert to the original image file) up until the time that you quit Dreamweaver, or edit the file in an external image-editing application.
