How to Crop a Photo Into Another in iPhoto
iPhoto is the photo management application from Apple, included with every new Macintosh computer. iPhoto allows users to import photos from their digital cameras and organize them. iPhoto also allows for basic image editing such as red-eye removal and cropping. The application does not allow for the merging of photos, but this part of the process can easily be handled by another application included with Mac OS X.
