Crop (mask) feature on Pages not showing fully? Driving me INSANE. Please help! Thank you.

Hi,


I need help cropping an image inserted into Pages. If I go to:


Format

Image

Edit Mask


(or double clicking the image)


it brings up the slider tool which allows me to zoom the picture in or out. However, all I want to do is crop a portion of the photo (without zooming in or out).


This is what I should apparently see on the mask toolbar:


versus what I actually see on mine:



Please help, it's driving me insane?!


I have multiple photos that I want to crop down, re-size and then fit as many as I can onto an A4 sized page to print onto photo paper.


I've given up using Word (which I would normally use, as when I insert pictures into Word I keep getting a red 'X' symbol).


Please help, this is driving me insane?!


Thank you.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 13.0

I could literally hug you! This is also made me realise that I was doing things in such a long winded way, by using AirDrop to send photos from my phone to computer, then attempting to crop using media. When I could just upload from photos all along ... clearly I have A LOT to learn. THANK YOU.
