Crop a picture in Windows 7

Sample cropped picture in MS Paint for Windows 7 A previous tutorial explained how easily you can resize pictures in Windows 7, using the basic MS Paint graphic editor that comes with your computer; but what if you want to extract an area of an image, and use it as a new image instead? This is called "Cropping", and is very quick to do in Paint, as you'll learn in this tutorial.
