It's much harder to crop a photo after it's been added and downsized and the crop tool buried in UI menus. There is no reason for undesired information to ever appear in a notebook. Undesired information should be able to be cropped out of a photo before ever appearing in the notebook.

This would be a better workflow than how GoodNotes currently works:

-Add photo/Take photo
-In photo screen display crop tools so you can CROP UP FRONT
-Then already cropped image appears on notes page for quick positioning and resizing.
