Paint.Net (or other recommendation)
Hello. I've never used graphics software before, but thought I should give it a go!
I've installed Paint.Net but can't find the tool I need. I want to cut-out part of an image (a hat) by outlining it (hopefully) and pressing Cut. How do I achieve this please?
Once I've cut the hat I intend to paste it into another image and then I'll need to order it - send backwards(?).
I'm using Paint.Net but would use another (free) tool if it's easier to achieve what I want.
Andy.

Re: Cut out my hat
There is often a bit of a difficulty to cut it out from a finished image, this small, after it has been compressed, resized etc. Many times it doesn't look good. But it can be done. One can often use a free hand tool, similar to this icon,
An alternative would be to ask Doc where he found your cap.
(If one doesn't want to install new software, one can also try http://pixlr.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; as I mentioned here: Online image editor. But I don't think it is going to be easier with this one, same tools as most, just online.)
to mark the object and then as you say use cut (ctrl-x in most software). Then after pasting it into another image do a little touch up work.An alternative would be to ask Doc where he found your cap.

Re: Cut out my hat
Hello Argus and thank you.
I found the lasso tool but it's a bit of a challenge with the trackball I'm currently using - might have to switch to a mouse pro-tem
Guess it would be easier to find an image which is just a hat/cap, rather than trying to cut it.
(I was assuming Doc drew the cap..) Andy.

Re: Cut out my hat
I was searching "christmas " rather than "santa hat" . I wonder if hats come in monster size?
I think I'll leave it a bit anyway - I can never get enthused about graphic apps - I think it's the obscure jargon that's involved that I find off-puting
