Help! Picture resizing and printing

[Luv Angel Musik Babee]

So I have some homework to do for this lady that comes out to help me get Gav behaving better. I need to resize pics, more importantly just cut them type thing and I need to add them onto a piece of paper so that I can print it out. I need it in steps kinda thing though. It's basically a new routine for him but using pics of what he has to do. Can I use paint in XP to do this? And word? And how do I do it all?

[Beverley]

Where are you getting the pics from?

[Di Nana]

Sorry Angie;( :dk: and you have been the one helping me :) thought you blondes new it all:Hehe:

[Beverley]

Di - She's not blonde. She faded pink and purple.

[Luv Angel Musik Babee]

LMAO My digital camera. They are on the computer. I just want to do it all on the computer and print it out so I don't have to stuff around printing out a gazzilion pics

[yomamma]

wish i could help but I am a dumb grey

[Barbara]

Do you have Microsoft Word?

If so, go into a new word doc, click on the insert tab (should be 4th from the left up the top), then click on picture. It will bring up clipart or from file. Click on the from file & go to the file where the pics are. Choose your pic & select ok.

If not, try right clicking on the pic & select copy, then go into the doc you want to paste it to, right click the doc & select paste.

Oooh thanks Barbara :D :D :D

[Telori]

Angie, Word should have an image button thing on the toolbar, like the image one in here. If you click on it it should bring up your My pictures folders and you just choose the one you want and it should open up on the page you are using.

[Beverley]

Angie - that's what I would do to. If you have to resize them I figure you know how to do that, just copy the resized ones into another Folder. You probably already know that.
Barbara - you explained that beautifully.

[Luv Angel Musik Babee]

Yeppers I got how to put the pics into it but I'd still like to cut the pics first, some are from a distance and cause they are small can hardly see it

[Beverley]

Angie - you will have to cover your ass when you come to meet us. It could be cold.

[Luv Angel Musik Babee]

LMAO LMAO LMAO Oh I didn't get what you meant for a minute then it clicked LMAO LMAO LMAO

[yomamma]

no she won't will fit rightin with all the other undressed girls

[Beverley]

Not sure about making things bigger Angie. That usually distorts them doesn't it?
Anyway, someone will come and help you.

[Telori]

:O :O What sort of place are we going to?.....

[yomamma]

normal shopping mall with teenage girls running around

sorry to take away from your thread Angie

[Beverley]

I'm dressing, sorry about that. What are you wearing Yoyo? Besides her avatar says spank me, I could be tempted to do that.

[yomamma]

I will be wearing my usual dagging old grumpy mum clothes

[Luv Angel Musik Babee]

LMAO LMAO I would never wear anything like my avatar, I'd die of embarrasment, my ass is too big LMAO LMAO LMAO

[Beverley]

Yomamma - I will look OK if it's warm weather and daggy if it's cold. I don't do pretty in cold weather.

Angie - You would freeze your rump off anyway I think.

[yomamma]

LMAO LMAO at angieLMAO LMAO

:hug:



Could I maybe get some more help? If anyone else is reading this LMAO LMAO

I need to make up a calender type thing, can I do that in word too? Like in a grid thingy

[yomamma]

should be able to clancy knows how but i have sent him to bed

[Luv Angel Musik Babee]

:( Go wake him up LMAO LMAO LMAO LMAO



:P :P :P

[yomamma]

are you kidding no way i like the quiet

[Beverley]

Have you got Excel? It's a spreadsheet programme in Microsoft Office.

[Telori]

Yep Excel's the best bet but you could make it up using a table in word, that way you can have as many columns or rows as you want.

Ah just thought. I think word has a calender thing in it. And you use a wizard. It's easy as...

[Luv Angel Musik Babee]

Ooooh ok will check out word first. Thanks :D:D

[Barbara]

You will need to crop them Angie. Go into the program that has your pics in - you should be able to select the part of the photo you want & then select crop. It will cut out all the other parts of the pic. :)

[Beverley]

I have found Excel easier to do things in than word with the columns.

I hope you find a calendar in Word Templates though.

Here tis.

Create a calendar

On the File menu, click New.

Click the Other Documents tab.

Double-click Calendar Wizard.

Follow the steps in the wizard.

[Luv Angel Musik Babee]

Crop ahhhh that's that word, I knew there was a word for it LOL I don't have any other pic program besides the Xp paint. The extra progrmas stuff around my files too much and makes me confused looking at pics :brow:

[Telori]

You can still crop them in paint Angie. Just make a square around what you want and click Cut. Then open a new window (but make sure you click NO when it asks if you want to save - it closes the original picture before it opens a new window). In the new window paste and you will have a cropped section of your photo.

[Beverley]

How are you going with the calendar thing??

[Luv Angel Musik Babee]

Oh I got it but my stupid dumb ass printer wont print black x( No idea why it's not empty, it has never really printed black

[Beverley]

I can't help with printers. They have a mind of their own I think.
Why not use a very dark blue.

[Luv Angel Musik Babee]

Mmmmmm I will have to, I've given up for tonight, will try again tomorrow. I have a week to get all this ready so got time to spare LOL

[Beverley]

OK. Talk again soon.

[Beverley]

Angie - how did you go with this?
Did you get it done alright?

[Telori]

Have you tried the programs I sent you for stuff like this Angie? I'm not sure if they have calenders on them...I use a different program for my calenders...if I make one up...

[Luv Angel Musik Babee]

Well I printed out the one with all the pics and I'm just doing the calender thing by hand cause I can't change the colour from black and it wont print black. The photo's look funny cause the black bits are just dark and yeah it's all funky LOL but you can still see what the pic is thank god. I need to ring cartridge world or something about the cartridge

[Telori]

You should have changed the colour to sepia...it makes pics look old...it's pretty cool...and considering you dont have black anyway...

[Kjoy]

For resizing, cropping, adjusting colours etc etc, download a free program like Irfanview or Ulead. Both are really simple and user friendly. Ulead has additional functions that guide you thru how to make a calender, or greeting cards etc. Its a real fun one to play with. Neither program takes up much room on your harddrive - I have both on mine along with Photoshop (which is a massive program and really technical to use so I am still learning).

[Telori]

I got Ashampoo from a disk with Netguide...I find it does nearly everything...

[Luv Angel Musik Babee]

Oh I used to use that Teena long long ago when I had windows 98 LOL on my old computer. I've also tried Irfanview but they change all of my pic files to their viewer and you have to look at them through that which highly annyos me so I took it off

[Beverley]

Angie you are so clever. I couldn't understand a word everyone said! I let Kylie do all of that for me on her computer then she transfers it to mine.

Anytime you load up a photo program it will make itself your default viewer. When you are in My Pictures in the start menu - just right click on the photo and click on OPEN WITH and then select whichphoto program you want to open it in.
