Nope. You can't crop with any kind of control in Paint. It doesn't tell you how many pixels you are selecting as you crop and there's no feature to keep the select box dragging in a 1:1 ratio.Originally Posted by fwan
that looks very fascinating Hydroaxe!
But wouldnt that be the same as paint?
Crap, I should have asked first.Originally Posted by ccoccocats
I have HP Photo & Imaging. Could I do the same with that?
Yes it has those features, but, how can I add words to the picture so that I have, let's say, a plain pink background with the words "Official TCS Jokester" or Joke-teller?Originally Posted by Hydroaxe
Crap, I should have asked first.I'd be willing to bet that it has a crop tool. Try opening the program and exploring each button at the top of the window. Look for things like crop and resize. Hopefully you can find a controlled way to do it so you don't have to do guess work.

Does HP Photo & Imaging have a text tool? That's what you need.
So is the text tool proving to be useful at all?Originally Posted by ccoccocats
Yes
I haven't set time aside to work at it, but, I'm sure it will be. You've been extremely helpful with your ideas and your putting aside time to help me. Thank you so much.Originally Posted by Hydroaxe

So thoughtful of you to take the time to do that. I wish I knew how to. I think for now, I'll wait. Cirque is trying to help me make a customized signature too.Originally Posted by jcat
Cheryl, I hate to "bust" you like this, but I was just looking at your signature. The pictures alone take up nearly 57 KB, and with all the hearts added, it's practically 67 KB. Only 30 KB are allowed.
The reason I was checking was I was wondering if you'd like an animated signature until you're far enough along to have a custom avatar? Something likes this or ? The first one is 9 KB, while the second is 4.5 KB. You could use either one along with your first two pictures, if you wanted.
I think you have to wait. Your signature is going to have to be changed, because it's way too big and against forum rules - think of the poor people with dial-up service! If you remove the hearts and just use the first two pictures you'll be within the limits.Originally Posted by ccoccocats

I don't know for sure if I want my sig changed. I do want an avatar added though! Can I have an avatar custom made now, or do I have to wait to be a member for at least 4 months?
You're welcome. I know you didn't ask for more, but I made your sig into one pic and reduced the size with the JPEG optimizer in Photoshop. Now it is 17kb. If you like you can right-click, save it for yourself and upload it to your image hoster. (I also smudged the edges of the last two photos to make them match up evenly. It only took a minute.)Originally Posted by ccoccocats
