This will help you further on how to make your own dolls from my drag~n~drop page. If you are using Paint Shop Pro, then click here
*I would really appreciate it if you put up a banner or a link for me if you are going to use the dolls that you have made on my page*

     If you are going to use Windows Paint (Start --> Programs --> Accessories --> Paint)...
       1. After you've made your doll in the white box, press the "Print Screen" button on your keyboard. (This 
           is next to the button that says F12)
       2. Then go into Windows Paint (where? Look at the blue section up top!).
       3. Once you're in Paint, go to Edit --> Paste, shown below:

4. When the window that asks you if you want the canvas enlarged pops up, click "YES". If the window does not pop up, then skip this step.
5. Now that you have your doll in Paint, go to the Tool Box and select the rectangular selection tool 
as it is shown below (also make sure the blue background is on the FIRST selection option as it is 
shown on the WAY bottom!) :

6. Now, select your doll by dragging your mouse and putting a box around the doll on the WHITE background like the following:

7. After you have the box around your doll, go to Edit --> Copy as it is shown below:

8. Now go to File --> New (shown below) and when it asks you if you want to save Changes to Untitled, say "NO".

9. Now that you have a new canvas, go to Image --> Attributes..., shown below:

       10. Make sure the Attributes are filled out exactly as mine below (including all the number crap) and then press OK:
 
11. Now, go to Edit --> Paste (if you don't know how go back to step #3)
12. Once you paste it in, image should automatically line up on the top left hand corner, if it does not, then move the image to line up on the top left by clicking on the image and dragging it. Once you've done this, the image should be lined up like the following:

13. As you can see, there is a lot of excess white space, so how do we get rid of it? Well first click on the canvas (not your image but the surrounding white space and you will see that there will be dots around the white area like below:

14. Now, put your mouse to the bottom right hand dot so that a double-sided arrow appears, with one side pointing to the northwest direction of a compass and the other pointing to the southeast.
15. Now click down on the bottom right dot and drag upwards and toward the left so that you are making the white areas around the doll smaller, like the following:

(the dotted line represents the new image if you were to stop dragging and letting go of the left mouse button you your mouse)
16. Now, once you've gotten rid of as much white area as possible around your doll, like below:

17. Go to File --> Save As...:

And then choose a place where you want to save your doll and give it a name and the press SAVE:

CONGRATULATIONS! YOU'VE JUST MADE YOUR VERY OWN CARTOON DOLL!
