    Hi Mark,

    You can use Free Form Selection instead of rectangular selection while cropping. We don’t have the standard oval selection incorporated in Paint. Using Free form selection you can crop the picture in the way you want.

    Actually, a much faster way is to copy your picture to word , then go to format tap, change shape, then copy the new shaped picture into paint

    Excuse my intrusion Mouneshwar, but I'm trying to crop a pic and don't know where the picture should be so I can crop it.  I opened Paint and tried to drag the picture that I have now on word (and I also have it on MS Photo Gallery( so how can I get these 2 together?  That is, the Paint and my picture?  Thanks ever so much.     Leidirosa
