hi - is there an easy way to crop a dozen pictures so the image is in the same place? I kept the camera as still as possible but there's inevitably a bit of jumping about. I've tried calculating x and y distances from a fixed point but it doesn't ever seem to work. And can you control the cursor position from the keyboard? It's soooo difficult to get accurate pixel position using a mouse. Thanks

:-) that's what I did and it didn't work. But now I've found there's another control called Canvas which gets rid of the unwanted bits. So all is well. Thanks for everyone's help.

Nope, I'm afraid I'm one of the old crocks who can't get the hang of this stuff. I took a picture with a camera (lots, I want to make a gif) then I cropped it (not easy making exactly the same crop on lots of pictures, I bet there's an easy way to do this but I don't know it - anyway it's done). But my new cropped picture has two bright white lumps on the sides showing the bit I thought I had cropped away. So I copied and pasted the image to make a new image, and it still has those pesky white blobs on the side. Is it not possible to make the stupid machine forget the size of the photo it started with? tia

hi - thanks for that but sorry, don't understand at all. I've just spent most of the day drawing a line around an image and FILLing the rest with yellow to be different from the image in hopes that I could then click FILL to switch the yellow bit to transparent. Does it not work like that? What is the magic wand for?

hi - I have an image on a solid yellow background. I tried to make the yellow transparent using the fill tool, but I can't make it work. Am I using the wrong method? How do I do it? tia Jon
