This button opens a panel to choose the number of times an individual image is printed. This can be helpful, if the various guests of an event ask for copies of different photos you took.

The drop-down list ôPicture Formatö lists popular image sizes.

Any excess area is filled with a background color, which can be chosen by clicking the ôBackgroundö button.

To define the exact cut-out area, click in the center between the cropping handles and drag the cut-out.
