Masking (Cropping) Images

You can crop images without actually changing the image les by masking the edges

to get rid of unwanted parts or to change the outline of the image. If you don’t specify

a shape for the mask, by default Pages uses a rectangular mask, but you can use any

shape available in Pages, including a custom shape that you’ve created with the Draw

tool, to mask the edges of your image.

To mask an image:

1 Import the image you want to mask.

2 Depending on the mask shape you want to use, do one of the following:

To mask the image with the default rectangle shape, select it and then click the Â

Mask button in the toolbar (or choose Format > Mask).

To mask the image with a predrawn shape (for example, a circle or a star), select it Â

and choose Format > “Mask with Shape” > Shape.

To mask the image with any shape, including a custom shape, create the shape you Â

want, and then drag it over the image you want to mask. Hold down the Shift key

and click to select both the shape and the image, and then click Mask in the toolbar

(or choose Format > “Mask with Selected Shape”).

A mask appears over the image, and some controls appear.

Drag the image to

position the part you

want to show.

Drag the slider to resize

the image.

Click to show or hide the

area outside the mask.

Drag the selection handles

to resize the mask.

3 To resize the image, drag the slider above the Edit Mask button.

4 Rene the mask by doing any of the following:

To resize the mask, drag the selection handles on the mask shape. To constrain the Â

mask’s proportions, hold down the Shift key as you drag.

To rotate the mask, hold down the Command key as you drag a corner selection Â

handle on the mask.
