Firstly.... apologies for not getting back...but its new PC time and
i've had boatloads of problems with this new tin box...

Also....many thanks for all who tried to help me....... Guess What ?? Im
still stuck......

My problem, Im trying to make a little sign for the car...... like "Baby
On Board".... I want to tak an image...... take a diamond shape from it
and then put a border around the image.

Thats it in a nutshell..........

If i have a picture and then crop it,,,,,,, thats fine...... but its the
wrong shape...... I have followed the advice given.... but it rotates
the image -45 degrees...... that would be fine if the image needed
rotating - but it doesnt. It only the "crop shape" or whatever you call
it....

I know it can be done as i did it by accident last week and cant
remember how i did it.....

Imagine you have a portrait pic, then you want to make a diamond shape
cut from it, you will want the portarit to still be the same way
up....... but I want the canvas to be diamond shaped with the image
still looking at me...

Im not very good at explaining myself but i hope you kind folk out there
sort of understand me...

Thanks again

Dave :)
