Crop Picture in Word or Paint?
I have a picture that I need to crop, but not the traditional square crop. I need to actually cut around part of a graphic so that it does not have white background. I have asked word help, with no help. Any suggestions? Is there an option in Paint or another software (other than InDesign that I do not have). Thanks!

you don't need "crop" you need "mask". It takes a photo program such as Photoshop or Gimp. Gimp is free for the download.
Either program requires knowing the Layers pallet to manipulate the mask over your photo.

Well, if your trying to crop with Paint, it's real hard. You only get 2 types of cropping tools (square and manual).The manual is located right next to the square cropping tool (to the left). But what ever you crop, Paint dont delete the rest of the picture, you have to copy your cropped picture and then using the eraser, erase everything else then paste the cropped image. Same thing goes with Word. I highly recommend adobe photoshop elements for all your cropping needs.

GIMP is free and, if you study how to use it, you'll find that it can do what you want. Copy just the shape you want and paste it into a new picture, making the background transparent.

What you could do is to right click on the picture, click on 'copy', open the 'My Picture folder', right click and then 'paste'. That should put a copy of the picture into the pictures folder.
