You guys don't have to ask permission to make a tutorial =)
If it isn't in the project table of contents, then it hasn't been done yet.

I was wondering if you had this reference...www.cutmypic.com

It helped me, so I thought I might share c:

Thanks =)

What do you mean resize and Put links?

She means your image is not as tall as the images around it, so she wants you to resize it.
And she wants you to center the links in your sig because right now they are off center compared to the rest of the text. I think this issue may fix itself if you resize that image to be taller.

The Lasso Tool!
Tadashi's contribution to the project
--------------------------------------------------

For this tutorial, we're gonna go from here...



... to here!



two nerds in one

--------------------------------------------------

The Lasso tool is the second tool in the second row of your toolbox, shown circled in red.



*click*

When you click this tool, you are going to see the top bar change from this



to this.



Let's go over the Lasso options.



The first one is the freehand lasso tool. This lets you create different shapes, like so.



The second one is the polygonal lasso tool, which I used in the example. It lets you make perfect polygonal shapes, like so.



The third one is Feathering. It determines how 'soft' the selection is. I chose a Feathering level of 13, selected an area of my image, and got this. The black is to show you the transparentness.



The fourth one is Anti-Aliasing. It determines whether the selection is smooth [on], or pixelly [off]. Here's an example with...



... and without.



Now that the explaining is over, let's get to our example!

I already have my image loaded into Pixlr for this tutorial. So, I am going to go over to my lasso tool...



...select my area using the polygonal option...



...hit Ctrl + C on my keyboard to copy...

...go over to File > New Image...



...select these options...



...and voila, edit done!



Now all you need to do is go to File > Save, and make sure you save it as a PNG file.

That'll get you this!



This tool can be used to cut out shapes, but it also can be used to remove backgrounds. Though, this method is a lot harder to do.

Can you do two corners rounded? Like, diaginal corners and the other two corners just squared?

To do the rounded corner trick, use the site Roundpic c:
Make sure to save it as a png so the rounded corners are transparent! well if the image is a still image of course nwn

Oh, I mean 2 corners rounded and the other two square like
