Now, let’s learn how to add animated effects to your cropped images.

Why Add Animation To An Otherwise Perfect Photo?

Pictures are worth a thousand words. Adding animated effects increases that by a huge margin. And why send a plain old photo when you can spice it up with a few well-placed moving objects to make it more interesting?

How To Crop Your Images

Since we’re adding animated effects to a cropped image, this means it will be an additional step to a basic thing we can do on the Cut Paste Photos Pro app.

As a logical first step, we have to crop our image first. If you don’t know how to crop your image, we have a tutorial for that here: How To Use Cut Paste Photos Professional Image Cropper

Here’s a short tutorial on how to crop your image:  

  • Launch the Cut Paste Photos Pro App.
  • You’ll have two options, “Take a Photo” or “Choose from Library”
  • If you chose “Take a Photo” you can take a picture of an image and upload it in your library.
  • If you chose “Choose from Library”, your All Photos gallery will open up where you can choose the image you want to edit.
  • Additionally, you can transfer images taken with other devices into your mobile device so it is included in your internal library
  • Tap the image you want to edit and wait for it to load.
  • Next, at the bottom of the screen you’ll find the options “Crop Shape”, “Free Hand”, “Quick Selection”, and “Eraser”.  

Three Cropping Styles

  • o   Crop Shape will give you the basic shapes to crop your image with. The basic shapes are squares, circles, triangles, stars, hearts, or hexagons. These shapes can be adjusted to the desired size to include the entire image you want to crop.
  • o   Free Hand gives you the options “Normal” and “Magnifier”. For the freehand option, all you have to do is trace the outline of the image you want to crop.
  • §  The “Normal” option lets you view the image as is while you choose the image to cut
  • §  The “Magnifier” option enlarges the immediate area where your fingertip rests on the screen
  • ·         Once you’ve selected the entire area you want to cut, click on “Cut Out Selection”. This will keep the contents of the area you selected.
  • o   Note: Clicking on “Inverse Selection”, leaves you with the outer part of the image or the image outside the perimeter of what you initially selected.
  • ·         Click on “Next” option at the upper right corner of the screen
  • ·         Once you’re satisfied, click on “Done”. This saves your project as a finished image.
