 +=====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
 +
 +Here is a quick tutorial on how to do this: [[https://somup.com/crX0qX0qlW]]
 +
 +
 +Do this for all the images that need cropping. After you are done you can [[https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/insert-pictures-3c51edf4-22e1-460a-b372-9329a8724344#OfficeVersion=Windows_newer_versions|insert the images into the Doc file]].
