New Photo Handles in 365
We haven't made a big noise about the new photo handles but if you work with photos a lot you'll find this a great improvement.

Select a photo in the Photo tool and you’ll see the new handles for scale, rotate and crop. It’s a lot easier and more intuitive than using the Fill tool for these simple but frequent actions, and it’s smarter too – ensuring you never see any gaps around the edge of the photo when you move it in its frame or change the shape of the frame. Top Tip – it’s great for horizon straightening!
