Crop images to a Square

The Edit Image tool includes functionality to crop an image to a square. This is often used to fit non-square images into a predefined 1:1 image space used for Events and Products, as well as the Feature Lineup module, and sometimes the Text/Gallery module or Image module.

Image editing requires specific permissions per user. These are assigned from Tools > Users

Spark location: Tools > Asset Library — or from any user-uploaded image location throughout Spark
