The Proprietà ritaglio / Trimming properties dialog box controls the method used for trimming imported images so they are all exactly the same size.  This is usually used only for images scanned from negatives, transparencies or photographic prints.  You probably do not need to use this dialog box if you are using pictures from a digital camera

To learn more about trimming images, refer to “Trim the images” in Chapter 5, “Extra steps when working from scanned photos.”

Dimensione immagine ritagliata / Trimmed image size
Use these entry fields to set the width and height of the trimmed image in pixels. When you are trimming by marking corners, The Panorama Factory computes the default trimmed size from the first set of corners you mark, but you can use these entry fields to override the computed values. If you have overridden the values, setting them to zero will cause The Panorama Factory to recompute the default size.

Strumento ritaglio / Trimming tool
Use this control to change the choice of trimming method. (Note that the Ritaglia / Trim menu and the tool bar offer two of these three choices.)

Angoli / Corners — Trims imported images by marking the four corners of the images. See “Ritaglia con angoli di taglio / Trim marking corners” under “Trim the images” in Chapter 5, “Extra steps when working from scanned photos.”

Rettangolo a dimensione fissa / Fixed size rectangle — Trims imported images with a fixed size rectangle. See “Ritaglio con rettangolo / Trim rectangle” under “Trim the images” in Chapter 5, “Extra steps when working from scanned photos.”

Rettangolo stile rifilatura / Cropping-style rectangle — Trim imported images using the same type of rectangle used by the Rifila / Crop command (Nuova immagine / New image menu).

Angoli ritaglio / Trim edges
Use these entry fields to set margins on the trimming source.

Positive numbers reduce the size of the trimming region. When you use the Corners method, the edges of the trimming region typically skim along the edges of the source image. Slightly reducing the size of the trimming region eliminates the possibility of including a few pixels that are actually outside the frame.

Negative numbers enlarge the trimming region. You can use this to add a border around the trimming region.
