Hi Russ,
Hard to be sure what you are doing, but I think you invoked the auto crop, which is fine. But usually, the result needs adjusting.
I usually go into PRINT editor, and click the cropping tab. Select the image with a click on the big image and the same image will appear in the top right corner. Now you can use the mouse to slide that image in the box to a better view. The ig image will adjust to what you did.
Hope that helps.
Fred

Just to add to the wonders of Qimage, let me mention a sort of semi obscure feature.
At that same little box that you woudl slide the image around, you also have a vertical slider that enlarges the subject for you.
See the screen snaps and notice the slider and the result of using it.
