In the following image I've changed some of the background color and resized the original as an example of just a couple of things that can be done using an image editor, and is not possible in Site Content.

You can do virtually anything to an image using a good image editor. In the image below I used several different images, created transparencies for each one, then cropped and resized them as required and layered them one on top of the other to produce the final image that I used on one of my sites::

Hi Brian,

Thank you very much! Your tutorial was very helpful and I have it bookmarked.

I chose the 2nd method for now... but I am going to do the 1st method too.

A couple of years ago, I found a mini free Photoshop software... I'm sure I saved it. I'll look for it...

How are you doing? I hope you had a good summer.

Have a blessed weekend, Brian!

Regards,
Monica

You're welcome, Brian. Your tutorial helped and I'm doing the first method today!

Yes, all is well ... I'm just a little overwhelmed with the things I need to do here.

Richard suggested making a list so I made that yesterday...

I hope you are doing ok too. Take care.

Regards,
Monica

Thank you Brian. Just what I needed as I was trying to use Windows Paint to edit an image. And failing. So I will experiment and practice with GIMP.

Thank you Harry, very nice explanation. To be honest, I didn't know that I can save the image straight from the image content, I always save one from Google as I didn't find it there . Thank you.

Hi, thanks for the comment, Angel, glad it helped. Wherever possible steer clear of Google images. Even using the advanced mode showing images as being copyright free, they may contain some hidden restrictions such as attribution, personal use only, etc. If you do use them always check the terms of use.

I don't create content, I only use site content images, as if you can't find copyright free images applicable to your niche there, it's unlikely you'll find them anywhere on free image sites, or even if you did, it could take many hours of searching..

Thank you, Harry, for your reply, I always check for copywriting and if it is it didn't let me download it. straight just like this. Thank you. I saw when I open on the right corner of the image, the image open onto another site, ok, maybe I should check this closer. honestly, I am a v much google image user I know is not so good but...is like this bcs as I said I couldn't find what I want in here.
