Media Manager 5 offers the ability to crop images. The user can access the advanced crop function either by clicking "Crop" in the actions menu in the asset preview mode, or the symbol  in the upper right corner of the screen in focused preview mode.

The user can do the following:

  • manually crop an image by dragging the the cropping handles that appear on the corners of the image,
  • input custom dimensions,
  • lock aspect ratio,
  • select one of the customizable corporate presets or standard presets,
  • reset the result and start over.

If an image is too small to make one or several corporate crops, the unavailable corporate presets will be greyed out.

After clicking "Crop", the user is presented with three distinct, role-based options. The user can:

  • create a new asset which wil be displayed in the "Related" panel next to the original asset, under "Crops",

  • send the crop to e-mail.
