Practical notes on working with image assets — written for the kind of work CropViewer is built for.

• Image formats for game art

  PNG, WebP, TGA, DDS, EXR and the rest — what each one is actually for, which support transparency, and which to pick for sprites, textures and source art.

• Cropping sprites without losing pixels

  Why screen-coordinate cropping drifts, how to trim transparent padding safely, and what rotation does to your edges.

• Keyboard shortcuts reference

  Every shortcut in CropViewer, grouped by task, with the differences between crop mode and the viewer spelled out.
