How to "ANTIQUE" Photographs Using Microsoft PhotoDraw

Step 3 Crop and/or Resize Your Photo (if desired)

If you would like to resize or crop the image, now is the time.  Since I am cropping my photo I have included examples of the process.  If you are resizing your photo make sure that you resize the background to fit, otherwise it will not save or edit correctly.  Cropping will automatically place a correct size background behind the image when using the cut out function.  Also, if resizing, make sure the [Maintain proportions] checkbox is checked to keep the aspect ratio correct.

To crop, select the [Cut Out] icon (your photo will turn opaque).  Left-click and drag a box to expose what you wish to keep on the image.  Once you are happy with the selection, click the [finish] function on the floating [Cut Out] tab.  You should see your now cropped image in the editing window.

Close the old copied original now, if you like (I find it helps keep things clean and orderly.  Especially when editing a number of photos at once).
