In Paint Shop Pro, there are several ways to use a tool, it would be long and boring explain it all in one making it tutorial.Iremos at different times from the most basic to the most complicated Ok?

( HERE we will see some screenshots of the toolbars)

1, after opening the program, go to File / Explorer:

We will open a window where you can explore our PC. We look for the folder where the image we want to use and when we found it.

(Section Psp Tips, find one on the organization of the folders to start working with the program, you can see it by clicking here ) press twice with the first mouse button on it. We open in the workspace of the PSP. The reserve for later.

2 ° We will open a new transparent image 400/400 px for it, look this icon:

And will the values ​​in the following window:

and with the magic wand click anywhere within the new image:

We see that all is selected.

3 ° We returned to the original image, click the right mouse button on the top of this and the menu displayed, Copy:

return to open the image, click on the top with right-click and Paste / Paste Into Selection:

Whenever we remove the selection redimensionemos, deface, an image, you must rebuild the pixels, as it somehow.

For this and after trying a lot, I find it easier and faster to do as I explain here. Just as another way to resize an image as you want.

We now picture you're going to work, the sizes we want. We can close the original to keep her by mistake.

4 ° In the toolbox we will select the Rectangle of Selections:

You can see that if you click the arrow next to the in the toolbar opens a tab where they appear, the lasso and magic wand For now select the Rectangle We now see that just below the toolbar, the options of this configuration has many, and we will learn little by little. Now we are interested in what you pointed out in the following screen:

We are particularly interested in the type of selection by pressing the arrow indicates where

1, opens a menu where you can choose how to be the tool. I select Ellipse. Then I put a value of 15 in Feather (progressive) will give us a pixel is (15) which will gradually fading and last longer as I have always checked Anti-alias box, we avoid the hard edges.

(In fact, I advise you to have always active, in case we need to remove it, already noted in the corresponding tutorial. Anti-alias option, blurs the edges which is how most of the time we use it)

For the next step, View Tip Coordinates

5 ° With the Ellipse option already selected and configured as we wish, we are in the image:

The exact center is the red point of the arrow. Located on your image with the cursor on it and look at the bottom right of the screen and hold the mouse button, we'll pull it from the center up and left. As we watch the bottom right of the screen to get to see these digits:

or approximate worth? I was not going to be easy to get to the first, or worry you? need not be exactly. But if approximate, ye see that the resulting image will not have raw edges and certainly not pass the required size.

As this goes on and even a bit more ... we see it on another page?
