My first attempt at cropping a pic - what do you think?

Thanks PCB. :) Hmmm you see I don't have any tools up there, I'll hav eto look to see if it's somewhere else. I like the zoom idea, it helped me a lot. :)

Ps. I usually keep it at 5 when cropping. I find that 4-6 in the best, depending on the picture.

What do you keep at 5? :o

Anna, for example, my cropped picture I have two layers; the backround and Mickey. You can have many layers and then drag them onto eachother. Uh...I didn't explain that much better huh? Sorry. Lol...do you use Photoshop?

I could take 5 pictures of Ringo crop them all down and put them all on one background. Like in some people's signatures if they have multiple pictures like CamCamPup usually has two different Pics in her sig, one of Cali and one of Cami Well whoever made that sig cropped those two pictures down and put them on one background. Sry If I'm confusing you, I'm not an expert I just started messing around with my Picture program and sort of trained myself:D :p ;)

Great job Liana..:D

Sorry but I have a stupid "?":p When you are cropping a picture....your just cutting the image out of the background its aready in??

Thanks :)

Yes pretty much. It's just that it's a little hard with people or animals. Especially Mickey who has a lot of fur already, it makes it difficult to crop without making him look like he got shaved somewhere :p

Lol..I'm gonna try explaining the layer thing...

So, in my sig below I have maybe 7 layers at least. In the first layer, I have the black. Then 2nd layer I have the first tie pic. 3rd layer, other tie pic. 4th layer, lyrics. 5th layer, stars on the side. 6th layer, the part that says Kai. 7th layer border. After I'm done, I just save under .jpg format. It'll combine everything into one pic. I hope that made sense...

Back to this pic..........

See where the arrow's pointing? You can type a number there for the pixels feathered. I usually type 5 pixels there. :) To see that text box on the top, you must have the lasso tool to the left clicked on. If you look carefully at the pic, you can see that the lasso tool is *clicked*.

Anna, to get the picture onto another pic, you cut the picture you want to add, and then paste it onto the other picture. Then you can move the picture around and resize it to the position desired. :)

Oh sorry PCB. I didn't see that. :o Okay I don't think I have that tool on my Photoshop...

Ok, I think it makes more sense to me now. I'll have to try it out today for myself.
Thanks everyone:)

There is another way to get the feather I think..If you go under selection I believe there is an option that says 'feather'

OO OK...Thanx Prima~!


I'll have to try this myself maybe...;) :p

Great Job!!!

I know it's not great, but at least I understand some of it now (thanks to all of you:) )

Another question now, how do I do the border?

Good job!

What kind of border? You mean the bevel and embossed one?

W:eek:W Anna! Very nicely done! :D

Amy sent me a good "tutorial" on making borders and frames. If you like, I can send it to you (I keep it in case...;) )
