Lossless operations - Crop is disabled

Post by orlydb »

Hi, I'm opening a JPEG file and wanted to crop it losslessly but when I go to the menu the "Crop" option is greyed out and can't be clicked, can you please tell me what should I do to enable it?

For JPEG lossless cropping please make a selection first. Then, "Tools > JPG Lossless operations > Crop" will be available.

Thank you, I forgot how I did it the last time and it was that.

Good to read that cropping works for you, now. Perhaps a message box telling that an area has to be selected first would be better than greying out the menu.
