The Fit list in the Fill section sets how a picture fills its layer. Pick it when the box and the photo have different shapes, which is most of the time in a batch.

The Fit choices

Choice	What you see
Cover	The picture fills the whole box. Anything that overflows is cut off.
Contain	The whole picture shows inside the box. The spare edge is empty.
Stretch	The picture is pulled to the box's shape and can look squashed.
None	Draws the same as Cover.
Crop	You choose which part of the picture shows.
Tile	The picture repeats like a pattern.

When Fit is Contain, a Position picker (a 3 by 3 grid) appears. It sets which edge or corner the picture sits against, so the spare space goes to the other side. Use it so products of different shapes line up across batch rows, for example bottom to stand every product on the same line.

Crop a picture

Start cropping

Double-click the image, or choose Crop in the Fit list. The whole picture shows faded around the layer, and full strength inside it. A bar at the top says Crop image.

Move and zoom

Drag the picture to move it. Drag a corner to zoom. The picture always covers the box, so no empty edge shows.

Finish

Choose Done, or press Enter or Esc. Reset sets Fit back to Cover and leaves crop mode.

Tile a picture

Choose Tile in the Fit list. A Tile field appears. It sets the size as a percentage of the picture's own size, starting at 100%. Use it for patterns and textures.

A crop frames one picture. A row that brings a different photo keeps the layer's Fit, so use Cover for slots that will hold product photos. Each row can still adjust its own fit and zoom in the batch. See Row values.

Try it

Select Product Image on the sale card and set Fit to Contain. Look at the empty edges.
Choose Crop in the same list.
Drag the photo so the product sits in the middle, then choose Done.
Set Fit back to Cover, which fills the slot for any photo.
