How to Crop in InDesign
Cropping is a method of hiding portions of an image in graphic design programs. In graphic design programs, cropping discards the information excluded from the cropped selection. This is different from masking, since the mask can be toggled on and off to reveal the hidden information. Cropping in Adobe's InDesign uses the selection tool and the rectangular frame automatically present around your imported graphic.
