Image zoom in and resizing

[Mike]

I have a picture from which I cut out a face detail and then saved it.
When I open it though it is just a tiny image in the corner. How do I make it take up the
entire area of the original one ? Should i zoom in before cutting the detail or after I
have saved it ??
I have Paint and Corel Paint Shop Pro. Which one should I use ?
Sorry for the silly question that probably has a straightforward answer, but I am a newbie
in graphics editing.
Thanks in advance.

===================================
Just to clarify...are you saying you would like to
crop a face from a photo and have the face
become the complete image?

I'm guessing you still have the original photo?

I'm not a Paint Shop Pro user so can't offer
advice but here's a link to a tutorial on cropping:

Corel : Put the Crop Tool to Work for You

A Google search for:
'corel paint shop pro crop tutorial'
will find more.

The freeware Faststone Image Viewer has an
excellent crop tool that will make your task easy.

FastStone Image Viewer

First you will have to download and
install the program.

Now, open the program and select
the picture you wish to create the
passport photo with. The selected
image will show in the bottom left of
your screen.

Now go to...Edit / Crop Board.

Left click the square button to the
right of 'Paper Ratio' and from the
menu...choose the size you want the
final photo to be. 6x4 (for example)

You can click Click 'Flip Ratio' to
change from Portrait to Landscape.

Adjust the selection frame by dragging
the corner handles to include the exact
portion of the image you wish to include
in your finished photo.

You can resize by dragging the corner
handles and reposition by dragging the
4-way arrow. To finish...click the "Crop"
button.

Now...go to...File / Save As...
(Always...Save As...Never...just...Save...
because in some programs it may overwrite
(replace) your original and all you have left
is the edited version)

Select a Save Folder.

Enter a new name for your Photo.

Choose a format...(jpg).

Save.
