Re: How to crop a photo in Paint

What is your scanner model.
Maybe we can dig something.
But all the scanners I have used work exactly like John explained. You click
on the Preview button and the scanning begins, then you get a crop tool to
select exactly the area you want to keep and you click on the Scan button
and now you get the final product.
