Hello Everyone! How are you? I need some help. I �m preparing a worksheet but I have problems with the pictures. Does anyone know what computer programme can I use to cut the figure of a picture? That is, the the whole picture has a square shape and I only need the figure within the whole picture. How can I cut it? Thanks in advance

Hey Josek..Try opening the picture with Paint. Once it �s opened you can crop it using the select tool (it looks like a dashed rectangle). Select the area you want copy it open Paint again and paste it. Hope this helps. Ed |

You can crop pics in Paint, IrfanView, Windows Picture Viewer and even once you �ve inserted it into a word document. You have to use your mouse, mark the picture, click on the crop button and then just move the markers to the desired point. Try it, don �t worry - there �s always undo if you �re not happy with it, just don �t save too soon.

Hi Josek,
If you need to get rid of background, you can make it transparent. Do the following:
Open your picture (or copy and paste: paste as a new picture by pressing Ctrl-Shift-V)
Select "Index"-"Mode"-"Indexed color" - 256 color - OK.
select "Index"-"Transparent color" - the standard color that�s made transparent is white; if you want a different color, paint the background first using a color that doesn�t appear in the rest of the picture. Works great with clipart to get rid of white background. The downside: all white spots are made transparent, so to avoid transparent eyes etc. you could change the color of the white spots first by using the paint-function, this color will be the color that�s gone later.
I hope this is not too confusing ;)!!!
If you need more help, contact me!
All the best,
Elisabeth from Austria.
PS: It�s also very easy to get a rectangular crop of your image: just mark the area you want to cut - right mouseclick-crop. Cheers :)! |
