G'day doydie, how are you doing?
I'm sure there are other ways, but the only way I know of making the oval shape is with Microsoft Picture It! Photo 7.0 (that's the one I have, but I've not used it yet). I need to go test it out later to see how it works. Do you happen to have Picture It!? Edited to add: Yes, I found some oval frames in there but am not sure how it all works yet. Never used it before. I think it's part of Works Suite. Last edited by Lara; 11-29-2006 at 12:12 AM. |

Most photo editing type of programs will work.
do you have one already? If you have MSWord there should be a picture or photo editing section?? I used it for adding a photo, cropped it to oval also, for my parents 50th anniversary invites. It was a bit confusing tho. a free one - pretty easy http://picasa.google.com/ or a list of free ones here- http://www.download.com/3150-2192_4-...49&dlsize=&ca=

That Picasa one looks pretty neat, Jo. Just having a look at it now. I didn't even realize I had the Picture It on my computer. It came with it already. The things you find, hey? It's so neat. Even makes labels LOL I should spend some time just investigating the programmes I have sometime.

As far as I can tell, I don't have MS word. It did come with Office.org and that's where my word processor is. I installed the Picasa and being computer illiterate as I am, I can't find where it is that I would make one of my present pictures oval.

OK i found the one I was thinking of it has a oval crop that you can adjust as it is over the photo.
This is a trial program download {time limited}- but I used it before and did like it. pretty simple and usable. http://www.fotofinish.com/
