bvega Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Hello I am fairly new to photo manipulation with software. I need to ask what may seem like a basic question/simple thing to do but I needed to know so I'll ask. what I need to do is - I have a map of a country (clipart image - .jpg or .gif - I have software that can change the file type) but it has that rectangle background. I need to make the background clear so I can place the country on top of something else without that rectangle showing. I know Photoshop can do it - but I can't afford it (I know it's subscription now but I don't want a subscrip - plus then I'd have to take training) and last time I played with Photoshop was probably 4-5 versions ago. Can Paint.net do it and if so is it hard? Thanks for indulging me, a neophyte. Regards, BV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
