How do you crop an image in Pages?

Hi chappa-ai,

There may be better methods, but this is what worked for me:

In Pages, go to the File menu and choose New from template Chooser.

(Press the option key if you do not see that choice in the menu.)

Choose one of the templates with a masked image.

Click on the image and prss command-C to copy it to the clipboard.

Go to the Pages document in which you want to plane your image.

Click where you want it, then press command-V to paste the copied image (and its mask) into the document.

Copy the image you want to place in the mask, then click on the image in the mask and press command-V.

Your image will replace the one in the mask. Selecting that image will now also select the mask, and make the Mask tools available to you.

My image original on the left.

Pasted into the mask on the right, then adjusted the size and relative positions of the image and the mask.

Regards,

Barry

I don't know how too achieve this in pages, but here's a cheap/dirty workaround, which may hopefully help:

Open the image (or a duplicate of it) in preview, crop it there and insert into pages...

I know it's a cheesy one, but it's quick...
