Cropping images

By way of information for the future, when you want to crop an image I suggest you use the CropTool that can be activated in your Commons Preferences, under Gadgets. The CropTool will then appears in the left side of your screen. It saves everyone a lot of time because it transfers all the correct and appropriate information into the cropped image, such as source, license, author, etc. It even leaves a backlink to the original and visa versa. That way all the proper information is there and does not need to be manually reviewed by volunteers so long as it has already passed review by bot or human. If you are just cropping a small bit of the image like a frame you can decide to overwrite the existing image but for more major crops you should upload the copped version as a separate new image, but you have the choice. I hope you can see how everyone can save time and frustration by using CropTool. Good luck. Ww2censor (talk) 09:04, 10 June 2017 (UTC)
