Let me ask you guys too,  
I was wondering how can I upload an image of yourself but use only a part of it, like the face or the legs. I want to simulate the “l **asso tool** ” that you all know well. Just give me a quick hint. Is it the “Drawing API” ?? How ?

If I do remember well there was this thing called [ElfYourself.com](http://ElfYourself.com) : [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gerWP7imzg8](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gerWP7imzg8) ![](http://forum.kirupa.com/uploads/kirupa/4187/77fb0e195ffd970c.gif)  
How are these made ? How can you cut from an image ?
