Cropping Photos

Though it's not intended, you can crop photos within iPhone's Photo viewer. The limitation is that images are restricted to screen size of 420 x 320, either in portrait or landscape. The secret is the hidden screenshot app.

  • Go to Home/Photos and choose the photo you want to crop.
  • Unpinch to enlarge the photo to the magnification you'd like to crop to.
  • Tap the screen to hide the controls.
  • Hold the Home and Sleep buttons at the same time, then let go. You'll see a white flash when the screen shot takes.
  • Tap the screen to show the controls.
  • Tap iPhone Libray/Photo Albums/Camera Roll.
Your cropped image can be emailed or post to your MobileMe gallery like any image.


If you're on Vista you'll find the few posts that are Maccentric marked with  at the end of the title so you can easily skip them. If anyone would like to contribute Vista or Linux methods, click my name below and email me the precise steps.
