Use Cases
| No. | Scenario | Suitable for | Main issue | How it helps |

| 2 | Standardizing profile images | Presenters, administrative staff | Multiple profile images have inconsistent sizes and shapes | Use shape cropping to make them visually consistent |
| 3 | Organizing product image layouts | Marketing and sales teams | Different image proportions make the slide look uneven | Use aspect ratio cropping and Fill/Fit options for a more consistent layout |
| 4 | Highlighting a detail area | Trainers and product presenters | The original image contains too much information | Use freeform cropping to keep only the key area |
| 5 | Aligning images more precisely | Design collaborators | Dragging alone is not accurate enough | Use numeric crop settings in the properties panel |
