=====How to Crop Images=====

Sometimes you will need to crop the images after you extract them. This usually only happens with FXL (fixed layout) titles. More often it happens with books that have a two page spread.

After you extract the files using one of the above methods:
  * Open [[https://pixlr.com/editor/|PIXLR]] in your browser (it's free)
  * Choose either option for photo editing and select ''Launch''
  * Select ''Open Image''
  * Locate file you need to crop and select ''open''
  * Use the crop tool to drag the frame to where you need to crop the image.
  * Hit ''Return'' or ''Enter'' on you keyboard
  * The image should now be cropped
  * Save the image as follows:
     * File name: Name it something you will remember. For example: ''BookTitle_Page01''
     * File type: JPG
     * Quality: High
  * Select ''Download''
  * Save the file to a new folder for the images for that book. For example: ''BookTitle Images''. This way you will have all the files in the same spot and with file names that you can easily understand
