You can always grab a corner and drag in, drag out, and enlarge it. Now you can click and drag on the photo itself, and reposition the photo, inside that frame. Say I want something about this size first.

Now you may want to try and crop it perfectly right away but what you want to do, is you want to get it to the size you want. But, in fact, you can drag at the top edge and left edge, right edge, and bottom edge as well. You've got, you can see these thicker borders at the corners, and you may think that the best way to do it is to actually drag the corners in, click and drag in to crop. So let's go back to Auto and leave it on auto rotation. Whereas if I go closer to zero you can see there's less and less enlargement for it to fit into the frame. So if I stop right here you can see the bottom left hand corner is perfectly touching there. So you can see the more I rotate it the more it's going to enlarge it so that the corners aren't cut off. You can see as I do it, it automatically will recrop the photo so that I don't have any blank spots in the corners.

Now I can continue to address the rotation by clicking on the tool here on the right, dragging up or down. So you can see it lines up for this long horizontal line here to make it so the picture is even. If I press the Auto button it will recrop it again. I can press the Reset button at the bottom right and you can see it can go back to how the original photo was. It automatically rotated the image to make the lines, the long horizontal lines, line up. Now to go to the cropping tools I look at the top here and I've got Adjust, Filters, and Crop. I'm going to select a photo here and View it and then click the Edit button at the upper right hand corner going into editing mode. There are a lot of different options and some of them are kind of hidden so you may not know about them. Video Transcript: Let's take a look at cropping a photo in Photos version 3.0.
