If a profile does not have a photo, the first time I upload one and identify the person, it gets assigned to that person as their profile photo. Also, Geni only uses the cropped area identifying that person. However, if I already have photos of a person and I upload a new one, and I want to use that new one as the profile photo...there is no way of using the cropped area. All I can do is assign the entire new profile photo. There should be an option that says, "assign this photo, but only use the cropped area". All the coding is already there since it works for first time photos....

Dan Cornett Good feature request! Note that one work-around is to view that profile on the "family tree chart" (under the "Family" menu); once you can see that profile (and current profile picture) on that Chart, you can click on the photo to change the size and position of the "crop box".

Rise Ellen Silverman BUT HOW do you CROP the photo. I Rotated the photo & since it's large & rectangular, it simply does NOT show up as the mini-Profile Photo, only in the collection of Photos!

Dan Cornett You first have to set the photo as the profile photo. To do so, go to that profile, select the Media tab, then select the desired photo (there should be more than one; if not, you need to 'tag' that person in the photo you wish to use as their profile photo).
Once you have the photo selected, you simply click the "Set Profile Photo".
THEN you can use the work-around to change the viewed area of the photo.
