Troubleshooting & FAQs

  • What is the default crop focus? By default, all images are centered vertically and horizontally (the middle point).
  • Does this permanently crop the image file? No, the crop focus feature is a centering tool that determines how the image is displayed within a layout; it does not permanently alter or crop the original image file.
