Original Image Preview

Here is the middle panel of the Frame-A-Face program.

Detected Face Rectangle - Indicates the position of the face. You cannot modify it. You can omit the face or add a new face position, but once the face position is defined (either by automatic detection or added manually), it cannot be moved.

Resizable Crop Box - The program draws a cropping border around the detected face according to the parameters of the active preset. You can select this crop box and resize it manually. When you resize the border with your mouse, it will be scaled with the face rectangle as the center of scaling. Press the Shift key on your keyboard for free resizing. After you resize the box, the image gets Custom Crop status.

Crop Setup Button - Opens the Crop Setup Panel.

Add New Face Button - Turns the mouse cursor into a +, allowing you to draw a new face over the open photo in the middle view panel. Start by pointing your mouse between the eyes of the new face and drag the mouse to the bottom of the jawline. The program will use these two points to define the face. If the straighten function is enabled, the face will be straightened by these points.

OMIT - Use this button to remove/omit the selected face. The button is active only when a face is selected.
