Graphics
If you have a scanner, you may scan a piece of cloth or napkin and use
it as a background for bookmarks or greeting cards. Save
your
scanned file in the .bmp (bitmap) format so that most painting software
can open it. (Your scanner's manual should have instructions about
this.)
The following is a scanned picture of a piece of cloth:
To make a bookmark with the above graphic, follow these steps:
1) Use your painting program to open the graphic file which you have
saved.
Then click on the "-" (minimize) button on your screen's upper right
corner
to reduce the picture for the moment.
2) Without leaving the painting program, open a clip art program and
select
the picture you want to
put
on the first graphic.
3) Use your mouse to select an area from the clip art
picture.
From the toolbar, select "Edit" then "Copy" to copy the selected part.
4) Click on the reduced picture's maximize button (the square one next
to the minimize button) and return it to its normal size. Now,
from
the toolbar, select "Edit" then "Paste". The selected clip art is
added to the first picture.
