can also right-click on the image and then select Crop Image.

16:9: gives the crop area, and the resulting cropped image, a 16:9 aspect ratio.
Freeform: select if you want to manually resize the crop area on the image
and give the resulting cropped image a custom aspect ratio.
Custom: select if you want to set a custom aspect ratio for the cropped image
using the Width and Height fields.
3. Use the Crop size controls to set the size of the crop area, and the resulting
cropped image. You can also manually drag the edges of the crop area on the
image to resize it as required.
4. Click OK to set your changes and crop the image.
Changing the Shape of Media
CyberLink PowerDirector lets you change the shape of the media in your video
production. Videos, images, and PiP objects added to the timeline have freeform
properties, so you can easily change their shape to create media that is different
from the usual rectangle or square shape.
