How to cut out a bit of an image?
Ok, lets say you had a pic of a blue circle on a white background. And you just want the blue ball in a .png, on the old apple works you could draw a scribbly line around something like a blue ball on a white background and it would snap to fit around the blue ball so you could move the ball anywhere on the page.
How can I do this but just save the blue ball as a png so there in nothing around it?

do the scribbly line thing to fit around the ball. after that “cut” or “copy” that ball + line image, and paste it in a new file. then save new file in “png” format.
Hmm might work if i can get 2 programs to cross over otherwise it wills still have the white background. I shall test.
ok. let me know if it works. the crossing over shouldn’t be a problem.
It works! a bit pixly but it works.. you would thing they would have made it a bit easier :P
If you post a link to the image (pre-cut out), one of us can probably make it more attractive if you’d like.
If you have Photoshop you could use the Background Eraser Tool to remove the white and make the background transparent.
yay! and yeah, feel free to post it and someone might fix it for you :)
Absolutely, if you post the image I will give it a whirl.
