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


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.

 

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.

 

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

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.
