The crop feature lets you trim a layer so that part of it is removed. It's a handy way to crop the edges off images and shapes.
In the example below, we imported a photo of two chairs sat next to each other. We then used the crop tool to cut off the chair on the right.
Note: If you crop a foreground layer on a design with an AI Background, the cropping will cause the AI Background to redraw.
