Modern digital cameras allow you to take pictures with high resolution. At the same time, the detailing of small objects of wide shots and group photos is very high. In some cases, this makes it possible to make several images from one photo, thereby highlighting the most successful parts of it into independent photo compositions.

Step 2
Set the appropriate scale for displaying the photo. Select the menu items "View", "Scale", and then - the desired scale.
Step 3
Select part of the image. Select the Rectangular Selection tool. To select a tool, click the corresponding button on the toolbar, or sequentially select the "Tools", "Selection", "Rectangular Selection" items from the menu. You can also press the R key. Move the mouse cursor anywhere in the image. Click and hold the left mouse button. Move the cursor over the image by stretching the frame that appears. Release the mouse button.
