DAM for Sitecore has a new tool for cropping images in DFS 9.0.0 which will crop around a focus point. From the system there has been defined predefined aspect ratios, that is allowed to crop, for that piratical Sitecore instance. The tool will not touch the original asset. Instead, it creates a new assetassets, which is an edited version of the asset. It is an independent asset, but it descents from the original asset and will inherit the metadata too.
In the small toolbar in the detailed preview, you can click on the crop button and this will open the Crop tool.
On the left-hand size, the mouse marks the area, which is used as a new asset. Often an image is cropped to a specific aspect ratio and it looks like this:
To make the new crop, push the button Start crop. Just as with upload. This triggers some automated workflows in Digizuite™ DAM and the assets are not available before the workflows are completed.
Below there is a video tutorial showing the feature.
