deblarco Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Hi everyone!! I am a newbie and cannot figure where to put this question. So maybe someone can direct me to the correct area to post. I have also gone through the the help and tutorials and cannot find the answer. All I want to do is pull a picture from one of my computer files, enlarge and crop and then save the new picture to my computer. I have tried this but I am really doing something wrong, because I cannot figure how to save the new picture. Thanks Lary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadJik Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Welcome deblarco! I assume you was able to make the modification to your image... If you like the keyboard shortcuts, use [Ctrl] + [shift] + S to open the dialog box "Save as..." and change the name of the file (to preserve the original version). or If you prefere the menu : menu file, save as...

deblarco Posted May 6, 2011 Author Share Posted May 6, 2011 Hi!! Yes I did that and renamed it. However it does not keep the rezoomed picture that I have on my screen that I want. I must be doing something very wrong!!!!!! Thanks Lary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heat Stroke Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Are you sure your cropping it correctly? I use the rectangle select tool and draw a selection. Which you can always modify with the white arrow tool . Then you can use the keyboard shortcut ctrl + shift + x to crop to the selection. Quote  Wait! No matter where you go, there you are! We're all wise guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deblarco Posted May 6, 2011 Author Share Posted May 6, 2011 Thank you for all of your suggestions. Here what I did after the suggestions. I opened Paint net pulled in the photo that I wanted to crop. Then took rectangle select toool and made the square box for the cropping. Then did the shoertcut ctrl + shift +x to crop. Then renamed and saved it. Went to where my pictures are and saw the picture I pulled. There was a black rectangle line box in the larger picture and that was it. I thought I would have a new picture cropped, what am I doing wrong or am I expecting too much. I thought this software would do what I was needing?????

MadJik Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 1.to enlarge the cropped picture you could resize it: Ctrl+R use the best quality and the ratio at on. 2.is it possible you have a transparent area (white-grey checker) when you save you picture in jpg (or non-transparent format)? If so the transparent is replaced by a color (black). Could you post the image before/after to let us see what is the trouble?
