How to Edit Anime Pictures Using MS Paint

• 1). Collect anime pictures whether online or by purchasing cards with pictures of anime characters sold in stores specializing in games and toys. If you have a Japantown in your city, there are bookstores that sell pictures, trading cards or manga books featuring anime characters. Anime pictures not purchased via download online can be scanned into your computer for digital editing. For online downloads of anime pictures, you can find a lot to choose from at www.animecubed.com and www.janime.com.
  
  
• 2). Save your anime pictures on your local drive, DVDR, CDR, floppy disk and USB flash drive. You can save your scanned or dowlonloaded anime pictures as a TIFF, GIF, JPG or JPEG format for easy editing.

  Drag the erase over the image to erase.
  
  Drag the eraser over to the area you want to erase, for this example on top of the drawing of a skull logo on the baseball cap. Drag the eraser back and forth over the skull until the logo or image of skull has been removed. Try not to go past the lines of the skull so as not to erase other areas.
