How do I crop an image into a shape other than a square or rectang

[Shelly W]

Hi All,

I was just wondering if anyone was able to help me out, I need to crop a
picture into a shape other than a square or a rectangle but I can't seem to
work out how to do it.

If anyone knows how to do it that would be great!

Thanks for your help!

Pictures are gonna be rectangles. period.

With an advanced graphics program you could to create a shaped mask, apply
that to picture, then make the mask tranparent, depending on the image
format you store the picture to. That would give you pictures that appear
non-rectangular.

You're looking at the wrong end of the horse I think. Instead, draw a
shape (circle, oval, polygon, freeform, whatever) as desired, and fill
it with your picture. Whoosh, right over your head, huh? Draw a shape.
Right-click on the shape, and left-click on Format Autoshape | Colors
and Lines tab | Fill: Color: Fill Effects | Picture tab | Select Picture.
