Tips and Tricks #07: Crop a Picture to Fit a Shape





Hello everyone,

Whether you're designing an adventurous photo collage, your company's brochure, or simply a team introduction for new hires, images always play a crucial role in making your presentation look interesting and interactive. 
 
To help spruce up your pictures and share memories with others, we introduce to you a simple and fun-to-use feature in Zoho Show:  Crop a picture to fit a shape.
 
How is this different from ordinary image cropping? 
'Cropping' modifies a rectangular image by adjusting the width and height of its frame. 'Cropping images to fit a shape' reframes the image to fit within a non-rectangular shape, such as a circle, star, or triangle. 
 
So, how do you crop a picture into a shape? 
1. Choose your picture to crop.
2. Click  Crop to Shape on the  FORMAT pane (to the right). 
Note that 'Crop to Shape' maintains the picture's aspect ratio, the height-to-width proportions. 
3. Choose a shape that works well for your image. 
4. Add a border to the shape to enhance its look. 
5. Apply more picture formatting styles (such as stroke color, shadow, or reflection).

  

Try out cropping your image with all kinds of interesting shapes, and get the best perspective of your image. 
 
We hope this was useful! Click here to learn about the other ways to crop a picture in Zoho Show. Do leave your feedback in the comments below and don't forget to click  Follow to get notified of all our upcoming series.
 
We'll be back soon with another interesting feature in focus! Until then, keep experimenting and exploring with Zoho Show!

        • Apply Credit Note Automatically

          We need the ability to apply open Credit Notes toward invoices generated by recurring invoice as the first, priority payment. This should be an option that we can enable/disable in the recurring profile and/or the Credit Note. Other invoicing systems can do this. I'm not sure why Zoho Invoice doesn't have it. Here's an example for a Recurring Invoice... If a customer has open Credit Notes, and a saved credit card set for auto-pay, once an invoice goes out, the credit balance gets automatically applied
