How to....Crop an Image in Google

4. Choose the PENCIL icon to change the outline color.
5. Choose the LINE icon to change the thickness of the line and/or the style.
6. Image OPTIONS to the right of the Crop Icon (not available in Docs) allow you to change the transparency, color, and brightness of the image. You can even recolor the image, just like an Instagram filter.
