virtual mat & actual mat-cutting

I need a tutorial! Ok- you've got an image in the upper left corner on the screen & then it cuts in the upper right corner (but it rotates it)- got that. But it doesn't keep moving clockwise??? I've hit "cancel" so many times while cutting- Is there a diagram somewhere that shows where an image will cut?

Look at the arrows on your virtual mat, then on your actual mat. Line everything up in same corresponding way and it should cut correctly. Hope I explained it in an "understandable" way.

Duh!!! I've been looking at this the wrong way- never even looked at bottom of virtual mat & wasn't paying any attention to arrow on left of screen. Now it all makes sense. Thanks for taking the time to answer such a silly question.

you can also move the arrow on your virtual mat to point up
under the document put it on Vertical (Portrait)
