Unless you compressed the pics, you might be able to act like you are going to crop the pic, but drag the opposite direction.

I just tried to do as you said, but got nothing. When I reverse crop, I don't get any more picture -- I just get background.

The picture was originally cropped in PP 2003, loaded into 2007, and finally into 2010. Is it likely one of those programs compressed the picture, thus losing any ability to recreated it?
