+	 * Draws the selected crop region onto an off-screen canvas and dispatches the
+	 * resulting data URI through a {@code cropped-image} event.
+	 *
+	 * <p>The crop rectangle reported by react-image-crop is expressed in the
+	 * image's <em>displayed</em> (rendered) pixels, which can be smaller or larger
+	 * than the image's intrinsic resolution when the browser scales it to fit the
+	 * layout. The selected region is mapped back to the source's <em>natural</em>
+	 * pixels using {@code scaleX}/{@code scaleY} for both the source rectangle and
+	 * the output canvas, so the cropped image keeps the original resolution of the
+	 * selected area rather than the (smaller or larger) on-screen size (see issue
+	 * #26).</p>
+	 *
+	 * <p>Note: a {@code px} crop is measured in rendered pixels, so the exported
+	 * size is the rendered crop scaled to natural resolution, not necessarily the
+	 * configured pixel value. The output is not multiplied by
+	 * {@code window.devicePixelRatio}, so the original pixels are used verbatim
+	 * instead of being upsampled on high-density displays (see issue #21).</p>
