New to the GIMP/digi scrapping

[mwilson569]

I have several questions I need help with!

I cannot figure out or find a tutorial on cropping my pictures in shapes other than squares and rectangles. I would like to know how to get my background papers as well as photos in circles and ovals. Also, I am brand new to digital scrapbooking and I am interested in saving my pages to a disc that can be viewed on a TV in a slideshow format. Is this possible and if so, can anyone point me to a website that can teach me how to do this? Thank you!!!

This tutorial explains how to cut any paper into a tag shape. Is the same concept. Just think of the paper being your photo and the tag shape being any shape.

Let me know if this helped.

Regarding the windows video... I do not have a good tutorial page to point you to. I know that it can be done because my brother literally had to walk me thru all of the steps, but I do not have a good tutorial. :-(
