Where is the crop tool?

[Hymer]

My question is so simple, where I can find the crop tool? Am I blind?
However I cannot find any manual either. Xtreme help opens the http://www.xaralx.org/ and nothing else. I cannot find any manual there.

The crop tool is in the camera tools fly-out.
Your profile doesn't say what Xara product you're using? If it's Xtreme, I don't think it has a crop tool. If so create a rectangle, give it 50% transparency, move it over the photo, resize to required size. Shift select the photo, Arrange / Combine shapes / Intersect shapes.
Edit.Again if it's Xtreme, double clicking the image opens the Picture Editor. I'd completely forgotten that existed

I don't think there is a manual

there used to be a linux version board on this forum, you can find it here: https://www.talkgraphics.com/forumdi...(forum-closed)

it is a closed forum so you cannot ask there for help but it may be useful to browse through

the program, as I recall was last updated in 2008 - I doubt there are many members here today who actually used the linux version at all, let alone still do; Talkgraphics is now soley for the commercial windows version

crop tool: there isn't one - what you do is draw a shape [or use a quick shape] over your picture - select both shape and picture and use the intersect shapes command [similar to inkscape, but I think terminology may be different]

the key shortcut for intersect shapes is ctrl+3 [or you can use the arrange menu / combine shapes to find it - assuming that it is the same for linux as windows]

Thank you! Yes, I use Xara Xtreme Version: 0.7 () in Linux. I have it even in Windows, but now I use only Linux, I like it very much, so I want to use it so much as possible. Grouping and intersecting worked very well, so I can crop geometrical shapes too, it is perfect.

another problem solved

you may find the linux version restrictive compared to windows version, it was never fully developed

Glad we could help.
