The Crop Tool is not accessible while working within the Browser. After selecting this tool, draw a rectangle by clicking on one corner and dragging across your image. This rectangle represents the area of the image that will be kept after cropping your image. To adjust that area, click on any of the eight anchor points and drag the rectangle to fit the area you wish to save. To remove the area outside the rectangle, double-click anywhere inside the rectangle or press Enter. To cancel the crop, click once outside of the crop, or click the Esc key. Cropping an image will cause a step to be added to the Edit List, enabling you to remove the cropping effect at any point in the future. When saving as a NEF file format, you can remove the cropping effect at any point, even after the image has been saved and closed. At any point in the editing process you can bring up the Crop Options to change how the Crop Tool performs. To bring up the Crop options, double-click on the icon or right (Windows) or Control (Mac OS) click anywhere within the image after selecting the Crop Tool.
