Banner help

[swirlyarts]

Is anyone out there technical enough to turn a normal photograph into a banner for my Etsy, Folksy and Dawanda shops?? I tried for ages last night and couldn't do it in Paint Shop Pro and it's driving me mad!! Any advice would be gratefully appreciated.
Thanks

I'm not very techinally competent, but I managed it with good old paint. I just used cut to take the portion of the picture that I wanted, pasted it into a new document and resized to the correct pixel size and saved it. There is probably a more correct way to do it, but this worked for me!

I have never tried this before but had saved it as I thought it might be useful one day.

A really good place that I have used in the past is MOD EDIT - PLEASE READ THE RULES
I found them really helpful and a quick turnaround.

Hope this is helpful

Have you tried using photoshop? I'm absolutely woeful with computer programmes and technical stuff but my hubby sat me down and showed me how to do the basics and it makes things like this aeons easier.
