Can you colour a faded photo of the Thornton Family?

Btw, is there any way of cutting a pic into an oval shape? I've got some pics with scraggy outlines but I can only work out how to do a square/rectangle in ms paint. I know you can draw a freeform outline but I'm not good enough at it and it just looks a mess.

If you right click on the marque which gives you the redtangle, you should be able to get an oval which you can drag across the photo to make the oval.

Or post the photos you want done (on another thread each) and we will give them a go.

I'm not sure I have the marquee tab.. I've worked out how to make an oval shape, but is it possible to cut it out? All the rubbish is still outside the oval if you get me, and the cut tab is greyed out. I think I used to have a programme that framed photos for you, but that died with my last PC.

Yes there is - but it is tricky to explain - go to 'help' in the programme you are using and it might assist. 

When I make an oval, I go to select and inverse, then edit  - 'stroke  (outline) selection - and do it that way to wipe out everything else.  Then crop down to what you want.

Sorry - I'm not very good at explaining things.  I am definitely not the expert round here - just open my mouth too much.  Can't even crop straight sometimes!!
