marshiker YaBB Newbies Offline Posts: 6	Image, how to export a part of it May 28th, 2008, 11:19pm   Hello, A little practical question. I've learnt to export an image but I'ld like to know if it would be possible to export just a part of it and not the whole program-screen. for example if the size is 800 by 600, is it possible to export just 300 by 300 ? thanks for your attention.

I can export a file with the dimensions I want, BUT, there is not any image, just a black background. I don't understand why. I still try... thanks !
