Remember that an image always has to be rectangular, so even if we had that feature I don't think it would work as you would expect. Hi Jandy, no you can’t crop to a selection made in the editor.

I will answer the questions here: W Tree - When you have the large version of the image, Click on F & the icons will show across the top George - the combination of ACDSee Photo Editor & ACDSee Photo Manager are a great pair & will probably do everything plus more that you did in Photodeluxe. Let me know if you need links to tutorials. Ken - I will email you Rob - great photo! Thanks to everyone for their comments! I will answer the questions here:

Took me a minute to figure out the lasso was hidden behind the square selection icon. I didn't use the lasso in manual mode. I used the auto mode on a really fury cat. Go to http://www.photographyfromanyangle.com/ for a peek. The cat is below the blinking eyes. It is lounging on a gray sofa, parts of which are visible. Great article.

Can you also crop to this selection? Didn’t know about the lasso either.

Can you also crop to this selection?

I have found most Adobe PhotoShop and similar products cumbersome. Their old PhotoDeluxe which was once packaged for free with Kodak and a few other cameras (about 2000?) was very easy and actually had every function I have ever needed hidden in the "advanced features menu". The old program seems much faster and more intuitive to use than Photo Shop - for example, in PhotoDeluxe there is always a "+" and "-" icon present to blow up the image or shrink it even in the middle of a complex procedure of cutting and pasting or modifying a few pixels.... Select by several methods, change the selected area in any way or distort it, move it, clone parts of it, partly delete it - all kinds of good things. DO YOU YET HAVE A PRODUCT THAT DOES ALL THE THINGS PHOTODELUXE DID? It was faster to use than Photoshop - but is getting old and slightly prone to "crash" in the middle of a project. Oh yes, Photo Shop is also too costly for home use. Nobody has yet found me a good replacement for this great old program. IF YOU "CLONE" PHOTODELUXE, ADD ONE FEATURE: "DRAW A CIRCLE" - we often use the program to make sketches for speeches or training. PS: Adobe probably wishes they had never bundled PhotoDeluxe for free with cameras! It is now available on ebay for about 20 bucks - likely not legitimate copies. Even new in package ones that are surely legitimate are maybe 50 bucks (I bought an unopened "version 4" a year ago for my daughter.) PPS: I am VP for engineering at a medium size company, have taken over 20,000 digital photos and modified many of them. I REALLY like your batch rename function, and find duplicate function. I and others who try it REALLY like the old PhotoDeluxe. I compare PhotoShop more to the disliked "I-drive" BMW puts on many of their cars...too complex to enjoy using even if good at it.

Using the Photo Editor was difficult so did not use much. Keep up the good work with this product. I have been a user since the first version, and keep being impressed with each new version.

When I click on edit, all I see is the large floating pane (or attached pane) editor. If I double-click on a thumbnail all that appears is a large version of the image against an otherwise plain screen. How can I access the features which you use, please?
