saving file

[sir snake]

I'm having troblem with something I'm sure is easy for you guys that have been doing this for awhile

all I'm trying to do is save a pic after I've magnified it... i drag a pic to paint.net. it opens up. then

i go over to the tools and use the magnifier. when i go to save the magnified aria, which looks magnified

in the screen, all i have saved is the original pic.

i have this pic of a bird i took the other day. turned out nice but i wanted to get a little closer shot of the

head. same size pic just blown up to just show the head.

I'm really new to this any help would be appreciated. thanks Don

silly question I'm sure, but is there a (done) button?

Use the Rectangle select tool

Draw it around the part you want to keep, then Image (0n the tool bar) >>> Crop to selection

You may also want to Save As something other than the original file name, to keep the original if it's going back in the same folder

Also for magnifying images (and more) you may like to look at this plugin Image scaling algorithms Although not the same effect your after it is a useful plugin to have

Still not sure what that request is ... Reminds me of the Staples Easy Button commercials but I dont think that's what you meant.

If you were doing something that can tax your machine there is a progress bar on the bottom of the window ... Probably not what you were getting at though.
