Often a personal computer user needs to cut out a fragment of a drawing or photograph. This is done, for example, to insert a fragment into a presentation, text document, or to crop a photo. You can cut out a part of the picture using standard tools of the Windows 7 operating system.
Instructions

Open the image file you want to cut in preview mode. To do this, double-click on it with the left mouse button.
Step 2
Go to the start menu and open the list of installed applications. To do this, press the "All programs" button with the left mouse button once or move the cursor over this line and hold it in place until the list of programs appears.
Step 3
In the list that appears, click once with the left mouse button on the "Standard" folder. A list of applications that come standard with the Windows 7 operating system software package opens.
Step 4
In the list of available standard programs, left-click once on the "Scissors" line. The image on the monitor screen will become blurred, and a program will start that allows you to save any fragment of the image on the screen, a separate window, or the entire screen as a separate picture.

If you need to cut a certain rectangular fragment, then in the "Scissors" program window, click on the arrow next to the "Create" button and select the "Rectangle" line in the list that opens. To cut a freeform image, select the Freeform line.

In order to cut out any fragment, press the left mouse button on one of the borders of the image and, holding it, circle the desired contour. When you release the mouse button, a window for editing and saving the resulting image will open.

Save the cut fragment by clicking once with the left mouse button on the "Save fragment" button with the image of a floppy disk and selecting the necessary directory for the file location and its name.
