I've seen a few posts from Inksters who are unable to 'rotate' their photos when uploaded. And I also note that many of us don't 'crop' uploaded (non-project) BGs from our photos.
PLEASE NOTE! There is nothing wrong with how any member shares their work, but I thot I'd share my first results of trying out the 'rotate & crop' feature that is available to us. I have no idea how this works if you are uploading by other than computer--i.e. Ipads, etc.
I uploaded a pic of a piece that a friend (Nancy) had made using a beverage can embellishment I sent her.
Gothic ArchThen I reloaded it & used the crop feature to 'edit' the pic so the embellishment was the focus.
The 'Crop'So much for that... Having almost no idea of whether it's possible to crop a pic with a 'phone camera' before uploading, I leave it to those who do phone uploads to try this out & share their info.
For good measure... I often find that uncropped pix of work are very interesting when seen against the BG the photographer has used. But... I also sometimes find that I've been unsure of where the project ends. KWIM?

Anyhoo... I hope you find this topic useful.
