As soon as you open the CropIt application, you get three tabs i.e. “Open An Image”, “Setting” and “About”.
I first decided to select the “Settings” tab and came across options that included; “Open From”, “Storage Location”, “ Folders” and “Filetype”.
In the first two options I selected “Media Card” and selected png as the “Filetype”.
Then I clicked on the “Open An Image” tab and to select an image I just had to navigate through the device “BlackBerry”, then “Pictures” and then I finally selected an image from the list.

I then saw a blue dot, which acts like an anchor point. I selected one anchor point and was asked to select the second anchor point. The second anchor point has to be below and to the right of the first anchor point. Selecting the two anchor points is not a very easy job to do as at times I forgot the exact location of my first anchor point! However I finally managed to crop my image after a few misses.

The lack of click and drag type of cropping really disappointed me, especially on my Bold which offers that functionality. I also wish that the application supported thumbnail image preview as who remembers all their images by names? Another disappointment was the cropped image itself. All cropped images get saved in a lower resolution and hence appear blurry.
