Smart cropping software

[gaftalik]

Dear All ,

I am a novice in graphic and design , sometimes i need to scan an image and crop a part of it perfectly to paste it on another image without traces arround nor white rectangular box , i need it to take the background of the image pasted on, i think this is called transparency. Now searching the whole internet i found many complicated tools in some softs called ,"freehand selection" , "smart scissors", " magic wand" etc.. they are very difficult to work with , what i need is only a soft which can simply crop the points i select ( I say points cause some of the softs needs to keep my hand on the mouse and draw once i interrupt means to start again such as MS paint ) or smart scissors edge cutting and then to crop it in a smart way making the transparency when being pasted on another image.

Any one can help providing such a specified cropping tool or soft , Thank you very much for your support and for saving my time !

Please forgive me if i posted in the wrong forum subject .

Hello, welcome to the forums.
If you search the Internet for "cropping tools", you'll probably going to hate it, because you'll not find what you're looking for. Cropping an image is not something you can do with a tool, you have to know some more about the image, sizes, etc. I personally recommend you Photoshop, you can use the Crop tool for the photos but you'd have to buy the software. I don't think cropping is possible in any free software, so it's up to you if you wish to spend money or just pay someone to do it for you.
I hope I helped, good luck!

Can you please tell me what may be the name of that specific tool ?

Thank you much .

Magic Wand tool helps a lot, but you have to use the eraser tool at times in bits that may be a similar tone to the background. There's also an extention to Potoshop called Fluid Mask I think, I've not used it but I was looking at it yesterday and it looks quite helpful.
