Unit cards in Paint Shop Pro

[Byzantine Emperor]

I can successfully get a good screenshot with moviecam for my unit card, but when it comes to cutting away the background, I have to resort to selecting every individual part of the unit and cutting the unit out onto a different image. There must be a faster way?!

Also, when I shrink my picture to fit the unit card, it looks very bad and squashed. How can I keep it looking good?

No idea how to get those tools.

Anyone out there use PaintShop Pro?

Yes. If you want to resize something, press shift+s then make sure you've got smart size selected. Also try to keep the proportions the same (i.e. the aspect ratio locked)

Try using the magic wand to delete the background....

Hope you understand that, I realise its not that clear, but I don't have much time.

The magic wand delets only individual pixels at once.

I will try your resizing methods

when you select the magic wand, there should be a list of option at the top. If you select RGB value and put the tolerance up, it will select all pixels connected to the pixel you clicked on with similar RGB values.
