I was wondering if there was an easy way to do this.
I have a picture
and I want to delete the highlited part
So the final image looks like
Basically, what I usually do is delete the highlited part, align the bottom part with the top one and crop the canvas, but I was wondering if there is a program that lets you do everything in one step (deleting the section of the canvas and the image altogether)
Paint.NET:
Select that area with the Rectangle Select tool, then press delete.
Select the bottom part of the image, switch to the Move Selected Pixels tool, and hold the up arrow key until it's in place. (ctrl + up arrow = 10 pixels at a time)
Now you need to crop it. Switch to the Magic Wand tool, set the Tolerance to zero, click in the newly transparent area at the bottom, then invert the selection (Edit -> Invert Selection), then crop (Image -> Crop to Selection).

I'm trying to animate a PowerPoint slide, where I'd like the full five dot points to be present on the screen at all times, but on click, each bullet point would individually highlight.
I can get it so they appear on click and then dim after a click, but I'd like all the points to be on the screen at the start, rather than getting revealed one-by-one.
#JohnKorchok is correct - this is not programming. Use as Animation EMPHASIS -> OBJECT COLOR. Effect Options: PER PARAGRAPH. Than double click on each Animation and choose a highlight color AND the original color in the field AFTER ANIMATION.
I'm working on a report project and would like to avoid making a separate image for each indicator color. Ideally, I like to put a transparent circle in a white rectangle. I have Snag-It available and general Windows tools.
My plan is to put the Image in a table cell and change the color of the circle by dynamically assigning the background color of the cell. I think it would be much easier to embed this one image, rather than creating a bunch of different colored circles that all have to be embedded.
Any suggestions on how I can do this in Snag-It or Paint, or any tools that are free for commercial use that you can recommended for this?
This sounds like a good workaround to get an indicator with whatever color you want.
Paint.net is a free image editor that you could create this in. Start with a white square. Use the Ellipse Select tool to select a circle in the middle. Press the Delete key to make it transparent. Save it as a .PNG file and embed it in the report.
I have a single image that is displayed inside a scrollRect.. pivot is centered and the user is able to scale the image up and down using a slider.. then he/she is able to scroll drag the image around (with the scrollRect functionality) like for example a page in a book-app.. but when the user scales the image up and drags it around and then scales it back down again, the page shrinks at its own pivot point and sometimes gaps are visible on the sides depending on where the user has dragged the image.. When you start to drag the image again it snaps to the correct location but it doesn't look very polished when you force a user to "nudge" something before it snaps into place..
does anybody know of a way to invoke the "nudge" after scaling? Or force the ScrollRect to calculate the position of the image after scaling? I tried using math and pivot points but since the position alters with both scaling and dragging I can't hardcode a value to change pivot points (like f.e. if x < -50 and y < -50 then the pivot point should be top right) ..
The simplest solution would be to invoke that little nudge the user has to do now but I don't know how I have to go about doing it (just changing the transform.positon.x in code doesn't work, the scrollRect needs to update its content) or maybe I could reset the position of the anchor so it stays at the center of the parent..
I tried to clarify with some images:

I´ve a cropped picture in a powerpoint layer and I want to change the picture without changing the size of the cropping area.
If I change the image by clicking "change picture" the cropping area resizes too, to show the whole picture.
How can I do that without changing the cropping area?
In Apple Keynote you only have to drag the picture you want to the cropping area and you only have to align it.
From my experience, I'm afraid you have to set the crop manually by "Format Picture" -"Crop" to remain the same cropping area when you replace a picture.
This isn't much help, but Libreoffice will do this. Crop, resize, then select your image and re-insert a new image - formatting will be the same, perfect for when you want to quickly redo formatting for same sized images.
In my experience, a picture that you insert to replace an existing one, using Change Picture, will "inherit" the crop&size settings of the old picture IF the old&new images are actually of the same size (in pixels) - if not, the new one will revert to the default crop&size so you will have to redo these manually.
This changes if the image to-be-replaced has any crop setting applied to it in Powerpoint. In this case, the replacing image will not inherit those, and might also be inserted with a different size&position, leading most likely to an unwanted result & further work needed.
A workaround I found is to first remove the crop setting from the old picture, replace with new image, then reapply the crop. This is still less work than having to manually redo the size&position (or to define these based on numbers copied from the PropertiesPane of the old image).
Quick work around: if you plan to have multiple same size images and you wish to use change image to swap the content on each page (something we do with floor plans all the time); don't bother cropping them.
Put the whole image in and crop it by sticking shapes on top of it, which are the same color as the presentation background color, like a mask.
optionally crop the images only when the whole presentation is finished.
I've written some code which displays a wx.Frame, within which there is a wx.Panel, within which there is a jpg. The jpg is the same size as the frame, so that when the program starts up the user is presented with a picture covering the whole of the window. Overlayed over the top of this picture, and in the centre of the panel I want to put a wx.BoxSizer containing various widgets. So far I've got the sizer visible but, try as I might, I cannot shift it from the uppermost lefthand corner of the panel to the center. No doubt there are many round-about ways of doing this involving grids and borders, but before I set off down this path, I was wondering if I'm missing something simple and there is a command that can be used to position in widget in a specified part of a panel.
ps. I also know I could do this using absolute positioning, but I want to be able to resize the window while keeping the sizer at its centre.
Normally, you can't see a sizer. But regardless, you don't really center a sizer. You center the widgets INSIDE the sizer. So when you add a widget to the sizer, you'd want to do something like this:
mySizer = wx.BoxSizer(wx.VERTICAL)
mySizer.Add(widget, 0, wx.CENTER|wx.ALL, 5)
Now, that will only center it horizontally. If you want it in the very center of the panel, then create another BoxSizer that is oriented horizontally and add the first sizer to the second one, centering it too.
hSizer = wx.BoxSizer(wx.HORIZONTAL)
hSizer.Add(mySizer, 0, wx.CENTER)
