[QUOTE="RadDave, post: 1775658, member: 234411"] Hi again [B]Lori....[/B] - I was just curious as to what [I]Preview[/I] could do w/ your card image - in the first two pics below, I brought the image into the app and used the 'Lasso Selection' to draw around and delete each bird - now this altered image could be opened in a more sophisticated editor, such as [I]Pixelmator[/I] or [I]Affinity Photo[/I] and cloning tools used to add the wood pattern background in the white spaces; people photos could be added. Another option in [I]Preview[/I] is to simply draw a box (may take 2 or 3) w/ a solid color fill of choice and no outline selected - pic #3 is an example. Finally, by using the rectangular and/or elliptical selector, a portion of the wood background can be selected, copied (CMD-C), then pasted (CMD-V) over the birds directly (to save a few steps) or the white areas - pic #4 is my effort which required multiple pastes and is not perfect, but not too bad; the photos of the parents & baby could then be added, to either of the last two pics. SO, a crude but maybe acceptable attempt can be made using [I]Preview[/I] - Dave :) .
