**Delete cropped areas of picture**
Even after you crop parts of a picture, the cropped parts remain as
part of the picture file. You can reduce the file size by removing the
croppings from the picture file. It is also a good idea to do this to
help prevent other people from viewing the parts of the picture that
you have removed.
**IMPORTANT** This cannot be undone. Therefore, you should only do this
after you are sure that you have made all the crops and changes that
you want.
