Picture editing/tech savvy people, I need help for Halloween costume
My DD is dressing up as a character that needs an ID badge. I found one I can use, but it has a picture of someone else on it. I need to replace that picture with DD's picture.
How do I do that? I saved the badge to my computer as a "save picture as", but I do not know how to replace the picture with one of my DD's.

Re: Picture editing/tech savvy people, I need help for Halloween costume
Assuming you just have a simple picture viewer/editor (and not something more powerful like Adobe Photoshop), here's what I'd do:
*Open the ID photo and do a save as (to keep your original untouched, because the next steps are going to involve some intermediate editing) *select the "crop" function and crop it so only the picture is showing *go to image size and take note of the size of the picture *exit without saving changes *now open up your dd's picture and resize it to match the size of the picture on the ID and do a save as so you have both the original and resized picture *do a select all and copy the resized picture *open up the unaltered ID image *paste your dd's picture and move it to cover up the original picture - if all goes well, it should be just the right size. *then do a save as and print it Let me know if any of that doesn't make sense or you have problems finding the right menu options - if you tell me the particular program you are using, then if I have it I can start it up and run through the steps myself to see just exactly which options to use.
