Cropping in Xara

[David.P]

Hi all,

for a simple rectangular bitmap on the page, can I edit the rectangular shape without distorting the bitmap?

Particularly, can I drag the four corners of the bounding rectangle to a NON-RECTANGULAR shape, while keeping the bitmap's proportions intact?

THANKS

David, if you make an Editable Shape from anything, its shape can be changed quite readily. So just add a Fill of Bitmap and the image keeps its proportions even when you add/delete control points.

Starting with an image, you can add a Default Envelope; a Mould is actually harder to manipulate.
