I want to share how I was able to turned an old postcard from the turn of the last century into a larger 4 x 6 postcard and a gift tag that I can use today.
First, I scanned two different postcards at the same time, laying the two images together, one above the other. This took a little more time to edit, so in the future, I would make a separate scan of each image.
Next, I imported, edited, and enlarge the image in Google Draw, but I was also able to crop and edit it in Windows Photo.
The cool thing about using Google Draw would be the ability to change the image into a circle.
Like this:
Now, even though you see this as a circle, the image is on a standard 8 x 11 piece of paper, so the cursor is farther over than the circle image, like the example above on the right that was captured using Jing.
Here is a step by step of how I accomplished the change.
First, upload an image. Click on crop and select area to crop.
Click crop again to get the image without the extra image surrounding it.
Under crop, you can select different shapes.
Click crop to view the image within the new shape.
Click crop again, and you have the image in the new shape, without the extra area you have cropped out.
The only issue is that I don't believe that this image, a circle, will transfer to other documents, such as Shutterfly, unless it's turned into a JPG file, which is possible as an option under 'download' under 'file.'
Here is a video using Screencast-o-matic explaining how I was able to crop and change the shape of the image.
