How do you rotate and crop so your crop contains all image and no white space in the corners.

Thanks,
Andy

I assume you are rotating a few degrees to align a horizon or something. You need to use the correct tool which is called straighten Horizon. That will rotate as you set the stretch band, and auto crop the white.

Where is this tool located? I can't find it in help. I just found it. The little ruler to the right of rotate. Works great.

See screen snap

Toward the lower part of the screen snap, it says, Rotate 0,0.
Just to the right of that is a slanty yellow little icon. Place your mouse pointer on it, it should say, Straighten Horizon.
Click that.
You now have a cross pointer.
Find the left end of the horizon, or if a vertical is available, find top or bottom of a column, and click, That's the start point.
Walk the mouse with the elastic dragging, to a point to the right side of the horizon, and click.
Qimage will make the string line you created as the new horizontal level, rotate the image and crop the white exactly where it should be cropped.
If you need better screen snaps, let me know.

I am finding I am doing more things right in Qimage for some types of photos becasue the Raw conversion color is so good. Years ago I used that tool but forgot about it.

Was that when it was only for Nikon files?
It has come a long way since then, especially in QU in recent weeks.

I have never used Nikon equipment, so the answer would be no. Maybe it was only a few years ago, can't remember.
