Re: How to crop a photo in Paint

Yves describes how most scanners work, and thats the way this one works on Me
And Win 2000. the wizard and the process are exactly the same on both of
those OS. But the XP Pro wizard is a totally different long 7 Window process
that don't give me a preview, rotate, drag or crop option.

A 4 x 6" photo downloads 3.9 x 8.5" And shows to be 591 x 1275 Pixels. so he
white ears are being seen as part of the photos.

My scanner is part of my HP Office Jet K60 all in one. Both my old programs
required me to install it from a disk but the XP Installation found the
hardware and installed everything itself. The printer, copier and fax all
work just fine.

I am wondering if there is a way to eliminate the XP Wizards and what would
happen if I attempted to install this hardware from the original Office Jet
installation disk? If that is not a proper question for this Newsgroup, let
me know and I will follow up on that line of thought elswhere.

I do appreciate all of your help and suggestions, and apologize for making
such a long post.
