Rotate and Crop

If you find the need to rotate your images (you might have decided to take the picture in portrait, but your camera imported the image in landscape), you can quickly fix this by pressing the rotate arrows as many times as necessary.

Cropping is done by pressing the Edit... button on the Import and Arrange Pictures dialog window.  You will be presented a preview of the slide you are working with.  Make sure the Crop checkbox is checked.  You will see a movable, and sizable cropping box appear.  Grab the anchors and size and position this box to capture the part of the image that is of interest.  Once you finish, you can either hit save, or perform further adjustments by selecting the Auto Fix or Add Effect tabs.  Notice that if you do this, your cropped version of the image is displayed in the preview box!  It couldn't get much easier than this.
