About “Crop” The “Crop” function allows you to crop a specified selection area. By setting the “Merge fill and selection layers” option, which was added in the official version, a “fill” layer and a “cutout” layer will be generated that are merged with the original image. In the example, a character’s hairpin is selected and cut out.
