ImgEZCR is a simple, yet powerful image editor.  One needs to rotate images when shooting in portrait rather than landscape mode.  One needs to crop images, and in various aspect ratios, to make various prints.  Mirroring is needed to make transfers for t-shirts, mugs, and other things.  And images need to be resized for various uses.  So that is what ImgEZ does.  In addition, the desktop version allows one to add text to an image, along with filters to Darken, Lighten, Sharpen, and Soften your images.

At the top of the screen is a status bar.  It contains info about the image being edited, and what operations to perform.  Clicking on the status bar, or pressing F1, begins the popup menu process.  The main menu is:
File      - Opens the file menu

After the aspect ratio is selected the selection is displayed as a rectangle.  When Expand Reduce is shown in the status bar, clicking inside the selection will reduce the selection, clicking outside the selection expands the selection, preserving the aspect ratio.  Choosing Move from the Selection menu toggles the move status.  When Move Selection appears in the status bar, move the selection by dragging with the mouse or finger.  After the selection has been adjusted, use Image->Crop to crop the image to the selection.

A selection can also be created with the Selection->Size command.  After entering the dimensions, move the selection where desired and crop.
