Is there a simple way to crop and print a picture in digikam?

Chris Green
Is there a (reasonably) simple way to select part of an image an
print it in digikam?  At the moment I can't see any obvious way to do
this though one would have thought it's a fairly common thing to want
to do.

You can do it from showFoto (Open With -> showFoto) or hitting the Edit button at the top of the scren. Then you can crop it by clicking and dragging on the picture and printing it.

OK, thanks, I think it's something that might be made easier somehow,
or at least easier to find.  I'm sure lots of people want (expect
even) to be able to do "crop and print".

I would expect such functionality in the print wizard. It's not there at
present, though.

The print wizard has a screen in which you can position images that don't
match the aspect ratio of the chosen print layout. Currently, it only allows
to move an image around. It would be great if this same screen would allow to
resize the image (effectively cropping it).

Just my 2 cents.

Yes, that's exactly where I expected to find it too.
