How to cut an image and change the background
Are you ready to start? XD

The first step that we have made is choose a picture that we want modify.

If we have it now we can run Gimp application. We search and open file where is the picture located and load it.



If we want we can add  text to the image with the letter tool, but we'll put text after. We want cut the main image then we select FREE SELECT TOOL and copy it.



Now we need a background to copy the image, we’ll choose one that his pixels are majors than the main image. When we load the new image the program ask us if we want to convert to RBG, we choose Convert.



We paste the main image on the background picture using the command Ctrl+V. And add text on the new picture using Letter tool. With the panel we can choose the colour, size, justify….





We save the image where we want and already Now we have our modified photo.
