Cropping with wifi

Would someone tell me how or which keys to use on a laptop to crop a photograph please. I normally use a mouse, but feel I would like to use the wifi facility.

    You want to use wifi to crop a photo, sorry this doesn't make any sense! Wifi is a technology to connect computers and access points together over the air.

    Using a photo editor such as Photoshop or free Paint.net make your selection then choose "Crop" to crop the image, or use the direct crop tool...

    Weird lol ditto what has already been said wi-fi is a way of connecting to other devices without needing wires not a way of controlling your laptop

    erm..slightly confused as your question makes no sense!..
    maybe you're looking for mouse keys
    There's no such thing as a stupid question,"
    Maybe this is the exception that proves the rule?

    Unless you mean you want to print your photo's direct from your camera via a wifi link - my printer is supposed to let you crop photo's on the printer if you send pics direct to the printer from the carmera over wifi

    :confused: but then the question would be what buttons to press on the printer to crop :confused:

    Guy's come on...... He's probably just mixed up a few terms or something.
    If you think it's funny, you should hear some of the things i've heard in the past.

    Please clarify.

    HANDS UP!, I claim the prize for placing this post.

    What I should have said, was that I wish to crop a photograph without using the mouse, which keys would allow me to do that. It was suggested to me that if I hold Ctrl and one other, it would do the same as dragging the pointer with the mouse, but so far no success.

    Look in the help file(of your picture editor) for keyboard shortcuts.

    For example in Picasa:

    That gum you like is coming back in style.

    Holding Ctrl will only make the crop square.

    Having read http://picasa.google.com/support/bin...n&answer=11139 and several follow-up questions, it seems others have been searching for a short-cut key to crop with no success.
