147344 2003-05-25 06:32:00 Seem to have been fiddling around with MS Photo Editor for ages. I have an image that is in landscape and it shows with a white background which is portrait size bit
but quite a bit larger. This means that when I try to resize things are going the wrong way round (hope that makes sense). It means that I have a large white border which does nothing and is diametrically opposed ( think that is how you would phrase it !).

The index cannot seem to give me any indication on how to fix that - though I have tried many combinations. Seems a simple enough exercise - but how do I get there please ?

I am running Windows ME.

147346 2003-05-25 08:37:00 Not so, Drys, because when I do that the white border looks better but the picture I am really trying to work with, which is inside the white border, is not the correct way round !

You will then only have the image and no white background to resize, flip etc.

147348 2003-05-25 09:18:00 Thanks, godfather, I got there. I did a drag and then had problems with using crop from the toolbar, because that asked for dimensions !
- however as soon as I right-clicked on the image itself and chose crop from there then it gave me exactly what I wanted !
Great !!
