Abstract
A system and method are provided for cropping images for scrapbook pages. In general, a desired area of a digital image is identified in a software environment. The desired area has a shape corresponding to a select cropping tool for physically cropping the digital image. Cropping information defining the desired area is generated and stored in association with the digital image. Using the cropping information, a crop-assisted version of the digital image identifying the desired area of the digital image and the select cropping tool is generated and printed. As such, the crop-assisted version of the digital image may be easily cropped using the select cropping tool when physically creating a scrapbook page.
