How can I crop original image in a pictureBox that shows image in Stretch mode?

Question

How can I crop an image in a pictureBox that shows in Stretch mode?

I draw a rectangle in pictureBox :

void pictureBox1_MouseUp(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
    {

        //pictureBox1.Image.Clone();
        xUp = e.X;
        yUp = e.Y;
        Rectangle rec = new Rectangle(xDown, yDown, Math.Abs(xUp - xDown), Math.Abs(yUp - yDown));
        using (Pen pen = new Pen(Color.YellowGreen, 3))
        {

            pictureBox1.CreateGraphics().DrawRectangle(pen, rec);
        }
        rectCropArea = rec;
    }

    void pictureBox1_MouseDown(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
    {
        pictureBox1.Invalidate();

        xDown = e.X;
        yDown = e.Y;
    }

and crop the selected part with :

private void btnCrop_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        try
        {
            pictureBox3.Refresh();
            //Prepare a new Bitmap on which the cropped image will be drawn
            Bitmap sourceBitmap = new Bitmap(pictureBox1.Image, pictureBox1.Width, pictureBox1.Height);
            Graphics g = pictureBox3.CreateGraphics();

            //Draw the image on the Graphics object with the new dimesions
            g.DrawImage(sourceBitmap, new Rectangle(0, 0, pictureBox3.Width, pictureBox3.Height), rectCropArea, GraphicsUnit.Pixel);
            sourceBitmap.Dispose();
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {

        }
    }

but the quality of the cropped image is very low because it cropped the stretch Image not the original image. How can I crop the original image with size of rectangle that User drawing in pictureBox?

Solution

I changed pictureBox1_MouseUp code to :

void pictureBox1_MouseUp(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
    {
            xUp = e.X;
            yUp = e.Y;

            Rectangle rec = new Rectangle(xDown, yDown, Math.Abs(xUp - xDown), Math.Abs(yUp - yDown));

            using (Pen pen = new Pen(Color.YellowGreen, 3))
            {

                pictureBox1.CreateGraphics().DrawRectangle(pen, rec);
            }

            xDown = xDown * pictureBox1.Image.Width / pictureBox1.Width;
            yDown = yDown * pictureBox1.Image.Height / pictureBox1.Height;

            xUp = xUp * pictureBox1.Image.Width / pictureBox1.Width;
            yUp = yUp * pictureBox1.Image.Height / pictureBox1.Height;

            rectCropArea = new Rectangle(xDown, yDown, Math.Abs(xUp - xDown), Math.Abs(yUp - yDown));
    }

And it's worked. Thanks to 'Hans Passant' for his answer.

You must map the mouse position to image coordinates to determine what needs to be cropped. When you use Stretch then it is simply x = e.X * image.Width / pictureBox.Width.
