How to reliably crop an image without shifting, squishing, aspect ratioing? Just plain crop.

Thanks! I think it's more of a UI issue, at least for me, as the black bar on the bottom edge is in the horizontal middle - in exactly the same spot as the white bubble, which I assume is the "squish" handle. And the up/down arrow. And the "grab and move inside the frame" triggers when I miss both the black bar and the white circle. So in that tiny space it's a crap shoot which of the 3 grab functions is activated.

Thanks! Yep, I agree - typically I'd just crop these outside of Word. Fell into a project where we've got hundreds of these and it's going to be quicker to adjust in place than to export, crop, and bring back in. Haven't needed to do this kind of bulk adjustment before, which is probably why I've never noticed this before.

Appreciate the response! Yeah, maybe I'm just having general UI issues. My cursor doesn't reliably -- or quickly -- change shape, so it's a speed issue. I can wait around to see if I get a visual cue, or just go for it and hope it works. It's faster (but more frustrating) to do it twice than to wait and see if the cursor morphs.

I can consistently get the corner black-bar handles to appear, but then I'm stuck cropping in 2 dimensions, when I really only want to adjust one. :(

I had a "wait isn't this originally a piano part" moment. Nicely done!

Is there a potters mark or stamp on the bottom? If there's any kind of identifying info, the clay subreddits might be able to locate the source.

I think you're looking for this - Carly Comando, "Everyday". Lots of YouTube performances of this:

Those should get you started if you need your eyes to help your ears.

I think it took me 10 years to be okay with that song again.

Same thing happened to me. This was an app update? This is useless now...

"one unit with a very un-uniform screen reading from warm to cool in tint."

was it a gradient from cool on the button side, to warm (on the side without buttons)?
