Well not with Vista. You need a Graphic editing application.
The Gimp may be able to do this. (It's free, Open Source but is a bit tricky
yo get to learn)

Adobe Photoshop Elements comes to mind.

Scissors and paste work in the real world. <g>

Note that the nymshifter doesn't pay for software, the MS/Adobe kind. He
claims it's given to him so he tries to put on airs and sneer at Open
Source to be in the "In Crowd".

GIMP will do that for you quite handily and it doesn't cost an arm and a
leg.

Yup, that's the GIMP's huge advantage. Otherwise shell out bucks for
Paint Shop Pro (or whatever the heck Corel is calling these days), or
shell out BIG bucks for photoshop.

I think Irfanview (www.irfanview.com) also does this in some fashion.
But that's really it's job, and you might drive yourself nuts trying
to do it this way.

This freeware will probably work well for you. It will do just about
everything you would want in a photo editing program.

For future reference, even though your OS is Vista you'll get better answers
re: photos if you post to microsoft.public.windowsxp.photos

Microsoft has Open Source products. They even have an Open Source web site.
