A few things you might wonder.
Does a 16:9 crop stretch my photograph?
No. It selects a rectangle from the source. Content outside the retained area is removed.
Can I move the crop?
Yes. The position sliders move it along any axis with spare source pixels. If an axis already fills the source, that slider has no effect.
Is this a circular crop or background remover?
No. The output is a rectangular crop. It does not detect a subject, remove a background or create a circular mask.
