It's a snap to crop your images in Pixelmator, to get rid of the unwanted portions of images or to accentuate some portions of images.

    Can you crop wiggly shapes, such as people? i.e. moving a person from one photo into another photo?

    There must be a trick to custom constraints I’m missing. When trying to crop a specific ratio, the values in the two boxes [___ ] x [___] just right of the dropdown where I selected “custom” always seem snap back to 256×256.

    What is the trick?

    @Jacqui, here is a tutorial explaining it:

    @Flemming Mahler, you should be able to enter the number below 256, we are working on fixing this one.

    marvince,

    To cut out a circle use the Elliptical Marquee Tool. Here is a text tutorial about it:

    Selecting an area and clicking crop is doing nothing. The cancel/crop buttons stay there, no action is taken. Hitting Crop in the context menu has the same (lack of) effect.

    Very frustrating.

    hi small first dark gray text on black background means you are not interested in users over 50 years old. How aout a much lighter gray for font color?

    Second suggest you rename retitle this tutorial “crop & constrain” bcause I’ve spent 5 months wondering where the controls for constrain are and finally found them here. Non-standard crop behavior seems to be a big complaint. The program is fine, jsut the access to the constrain feature is “hidden” unless you stumble across it
