The Region of Interest dialog

Use these settings when configuring a process step that crops images.

When you add or edit a cropping process, a wizard helps you with the settings. Your two initial options are listed below, with the subsequent settings that are available in the wizard:

• Crop borders from the left, top, right and/or bottom

  You are prompted by the wizard to specify how many units (pixels or mm) to crop from the margins.

  Next, you are given the option to select Work on documents with selected document type only and select which document type to apply the settings to.

  Finally, in Use image options you can adjust the settings for Resolution, Color Depth and Compression.

• Crop a zone from a fixed or relative starting point

  You are prompted by the wizard to specify one of these:

  • Fixed starting point – Use this option to define an area of the image to keep based on a fixed starting point on the image.

  • Relative starting point – Use this option to define an area of the image to keep based on one of these positions in the image: Top Left, Top Right, Bottom Left, or Bottom Right.

  Then you specify the Width and Height of the part of the image to keep, in pixels or mm.

  Next, you are given the option to select Work on documents with selected document type only and select which document type to apply the settings to.

  Finally, in Use image options you can adjust the settings for Resolution, Color Depth and Compression.

If the Work on copy option is selected in the main settings (see Process Images activity: Crop images), the Page options settings are also available when defining the areas.
