Help with Paint Shop Pro 7...

ok...I'm a pretty big n00b at this stuff...but anyways...I want to crop out a player model from a cs screenshot...and so is there a way to crop it out without actually like going around the whole model with the picture zoomed? I tried this many times and I Just get fustrated because I move the mouse a little too far and it messes up the whole thing....so is there a way?

Not possible. There is no way for the program to tell where the toon ends and where background begins. The lasso tool is way too hard to use. IMHO It is easier to use the eraser with size = 1 and outline the object. After you've done this, its much easier to erase a larger area around the cutout. Then you can use the regular select tool to cut or use the crop tool. Change the color of the background with fill and set it as transparent. Take small steps with the eraser, then you can use ctrl+z (undo) and ctrl+y (redo) if you screw it up.

That eraser trick is awesome! Thanks for the tip. I've definitely been there done that on that stupid lasso routine. The Maetryx
