help with some pictures modifying
|
Hello teachers!
I have a couple of questions to ask about modifying pics in our ws which I was able to solve myself with the many tutorials I found on the site. I can �t even think of a good way to ask so I hope you understand what I mean
1) How do I make the picture transparent, i.d sometimes the pic is inside a white rectangle and it "blocks" the background but I have seen many who are able to make this rectangle disappeare so that the pic only has only its own outline. how is this possible?
2) I have seen in some ws complexed pics which are made by different auto shapes from Word. and when you want to move them, they all move in 1 block as if they were only 1 picture. I would like to do the same (let �s say for with a clock, hands and numbers to be like one indistinct picture and not many different parts). How can I do this? At first I thought these pics were edited through Paint, but this is not the case as they are not bitmap objects but proper images.
could you help? I don �t know if I managed to make myself clear.I hope so. Thanks in advance for whoever helps!!
have a nice day

I �ll help you do it but my Word is in French so if you understand the following, you �ll be able to solve your problem :)
Draw a rectangular, then , double click on it, a window will appear, go to color and make the color of the line border transparent, then, you �ll find Remplissage and Trait. Go to Remplissage -> Motifs et Textures -> and select Image and not color, it will ask you to selct an image -> click on it -> an uploading window will appear, upload your picture, upload your picture and finish by clicking OK and that �s it

Hi, Fede! Let �s see if I can give a hand! I will share what I do. In order to make picture completely transparent, you have to change its format into GIF (which allows transparencies). I always copy a picture I like & paste it in PHOTOED, & there I "clean" & edit the picture the way I want & when I save it, I choose GIF format. Try & if you get lost contact me again!
Secondly, if you want to join pictures together, first select them with the mouse, pressing the "shift" key . Then, press the right botton from your mouse and a window will open, among its options there is one that says "grouping", press it and all pictures will remain together! Hope I �ve been clear enough... try it out & contact me if necessary. have a nice day!!! Fabiola |
