border. Every time you can adjust 1 pixel.
Image clipping: Through adjust image width, height, left margin and top margin to achieve
desired requirement. Increasing/reducing width of image starts from right, increasing/reducing
height of image starts from below.
Skills of image clipping as follows:
1. Set scale full output image to confirm whether clipping adjustment is appropriate.
2. Cut off left margin of image: firstly increase left margin, then reduce image width.
3. Cut off right margin of image: reduce image width.
4. Cut off top margin of image: firstly reduce image height, and then increase top margin.
5. Cut off lower margin of image: reduce image height.
After image adjustment completes, click "Save Preset" to save current adjustment; click "Del
preset" to delete preset you saved; click "Apply Preset" to apply the saved preset to current
