Windows 10: How do I crop images at the middle with Photos app?

Can anyone tell me how to crop images at the middle with Photos app like it is possible with Paint? I can only crop images using the Photos app but only in each side of the image, not at the center.

:)

 

***HELP PLEASE!*** No longer able to crop photos since the Windows 10 Photo App Update

Sadly, I was not giving the option to choose if I wanted the update. I didn't realise it had updated until I discovered that things looked different. It is absolutely impossible to use this editor to crop photos/pictures anymore.

I used to be able to select the area I wanted to crop but now the only option is a diagonal drag and it only lets me crop from right to left and I am not able to select the area I want to crop. When it crops, I have to put my cursor into the middle of the
photo to move the area cropped but I it is impossible to crop the area I need to crop.

Please, please, pleeeeeeeeeease can someone tell me how to fix this? Can the update be uninstalled? Is it possible to revert back to the previous version?

I do not want to have to search online for alternative photo editor programmes.

 

How to crop, resize and enhance a photo in Windows 10

For a while now, I have been unable to crop photos like I used to

I used to be able to select the area I wanted to crop but now it only lets me crop from right to left and I am not able to select the area I want to crop. When it crops, I have to put my cursor into the middle of the photo to move the area cropped but it
never gives a satisfactory crop.

Everything seemed fine until I got an update, I didn't realise it had updated until I realised that things looked different :/

Can anyone please help me or recommend another good photo editor?

Thank you very much in advance

 

Hi, if you mean cropping part of the image, cutting a region all around the area you want, it seems quite possible:



You can see the original in the background.

Rotation is possible too.

 

Strange, I tried again and I couldn't do it. It's way easier in paint.

 

Just 'cos Photos is supplied with Windows doesn't mean you have to use it, or that it's the best. I've never cropped or edited a photo with it... I use Paint for preparing items to post here.

But

click Edit


Click Crop & Rotate
- and you're there.

 

Yes, I know, but the thing is that I only want to have one app/program for opening pictures and what I was thinking was to remove Paint in the future since it is older and according to what I read it may be removed in the Fall Creators Update but since I can't crop images the way I want I might be able to not remove it if it isn't removed in the next version.

Well, I tried again but to no avail.

 

Please post screenshots showing exactly what you are doing and clicking in Photos, then perhaps someone can help.

You can also try re-registering Photos - see the Tutorial section if you become convinced it's broken.

Paint will remain available, one way or another- there is a thread discussing this.

Features removed or Deprecated in Windows 10 Fall Creators Update - Windows 10 Forums

However- if it's available from the Store, I'm wondering if that means as a universal app not as we know it...

 

Well, it's a drag that we will have to download Paint from the Store but at least it won't disappear for good.

For example, where is the delete key here?
