Hi Peterz1. This is a Pixelmator Photo forum but if I understand correctly, you're using Pixelmator Classic on a Mac? Could you tell me a little bit more about what happens when cropping that makes the Crop tool difficult to use?

Do you mean it leaves parts of an image behind the edges of the canvas instead of deleting them? If that's the case, you'll want to change the crop mode from 'Hide' to 'Delete' in the toolbar at the top of your document window:

Let me know if it helps!

I see, sorry to hear that didn't help! If it's not too much trouble, I'd like to ask you for more info in order to troubleshoot this further. If you haven't already, would you be able to make a screen recording of how this cropping issue looks like on your Mac and share it with us at support@pixelmator.com? Thanks in advance.

Ah, the crop is constrained to 16 x 9 (Display) in the Crop tool options (the toolbar above your image). If you change it to "None" you should be able to crop your image freely.
