- To Crop (cut out) Your Image
- In the Parameter box
it wants to know the size of the image and
how much to take off horizontally and
vertically. Here's how it works....
- So if you have an image that is 300x200
and you want to take off 50 from the left and
50 from the bottom you would put this in the
Parameter
box.
| 300x200+50-50 |
- To Make Your Own Background
- In the "Filename" field, type in the color you want your background to be (using lower case)
- Scroll down the page
- In the "Size" field, adjust the size according to how large the name you wish to use will be (eg, 100x100 for a small name, 200x200 for a larger name, etc etc)
- From the "Format" drop-down box, select "xc"
- Scroll back up and hit "view"
- Your background color should appear as a box on the screen. If it's not the color you want simply hit your "back button" and adjust it.
- To add the name to your background - use the same rules as you do in adding text to an image (above)
- Generally, you type in the name you wish to appear, choose "center" as the position, choose your font style, color, size, in the "angle" field (under Annotate), type in -30 to put your text on an angle, and then hit "annotate"
- If your text is not aligned how you like it, or if there is anything else wrong, simply click the "back button" and make the changes.
- If your background box is too big, then "crop" it (as above). If it is too small, hit your "back button" (to remove the text) and then "resize" it (as above)
