wanted to crop the image so that only the actor was there and so that there was no background to the image.
For this, I used the
polygonal lasso tool so that I could go around the actor with precision as the standard lasso tool would allow me to do this but freely so mistakes would be easy to make. Therefore, the polygonal tool could outline the image more carefully. Once this was done, the image was moved onto a separate layer and saved as a JPEG photo so that it could be used in Publisher.
