In vista and xp there's a tool in paint that allows me to cut out the picture around a face and just leave the head of who ever is in the picture. I can't find it in windows 7. Please help. I use that feature a dozen times a day. I think it's free cut.

it's down on the bottom of the tool bar with the circle tool and square tool.

ok it's the shape making tool that looks like a ski boot. It's between the triangle and the round cornered rectangle in the first row in the windows 7 paint. In xp and vista you can choose to cut out or fill in solid with white the shape that you make. The shape I would make is the negative space around heads of people. How can I still do that in windows 7?


oh wait. no I figured it out. let me see if i can do it again. no I can't get it to happen again. What was happening when it did work was that it was making the shape or filling in the shape so it would automatically fill in a triangle even if I had only drawn two lines. but I don't know how I got it to do that. oh and i'm trying to use the program in chinese so I can't read anything.

ok I got it. wow. this forum really helps! thanks!
