Crop

The Crop image enhancement removes a specified portion from one or more edges of an image, which can help save processing time when you apply other enhancements.

You can configure how much should be removed, or specify that one side of the image should not be altered by setting a value of 0 (zero) for that edge. Crop affects the size and dimensions of the image, but does not scale it or change the resolution. Because it reduces the overall size of the image, it also saves disk space when the image is stored in Laserfiche.

Note: If Crop is configured, it will be performed regardless of the content of the image. Information inside the crop region may be lost. To prevent data loss, configure Crop with care.
