How to crop pictures with paint ( i know its an easy task to crop but its much easier with paint)

Paint has got lots of restrictions in terms of editing but it has the best crop features if you know hot to use them!

Well there is only 1 way to crop with paint:
  1. Reduce border   
REDUCING THE BORDER

Open the image you want to crop: 
  • Right click the image
  • in the menu choose the "open with"
  • then choose paint
Now do u notice the small blue points on the corners of the image? Yes those. Now Left clicking them drag them to the corner of the image ( you can only use the bottom right one). 

During that ^ remember to keep it uptill the point you want not further into the picture.
Click Cntrl + S to save it into the same file (not creating a duplicate) 
or you could go to file and choose save as to save a copy in the desired location.

 Well thats it for editing with paint

  1. I'm on the fence about this, while more customization is good, I have a feeling this is a "in-progress" update, it just feels incomplete and half-way there.
    We use badge layout for apps on design approvals (visual projects), so the image being displayed is important. Old layout "feels like" it had larger images,
    maybe because the images were cropped more loosely so it's easier to tell which project it was at quick glance. Now the image is cropped closer, making it
    harder to scan thru at quick glance. I find myself needing to click into the project more often than usual. Which makes the whole user experience less
    efficient.
    I have a couple suggestions that might make it work better:
    1. Increase the height of the window the cover image is being displayed.
    2. Let us to choose which image to be displayed as "cover" (like how Pinterest handles cover images of each board, was hoping for this for a long time)
    3. Let us adjust which part of the image to show and how tight or loose the crop is (with a fixed window, let us move the image around and maybe enlarge or
    shrink it to control what shows thru the window. Pinterest does a limited form of this, which is very useful in making the cover image relevant)
    4. Allow Cover Image to be ordered in different hierarchy (currently every element can be ordered differently except the Cover Image, it seems to be stuck
    in the 2nd spot, would like the option to set it on another spot in the layout. This one seems like an easy fix, since you guys allow that for every other
    element already)
