Today I read about tracing and cropping an image in Microsoft Expression Design 4. So I want to share this with you all in the form of an article hoping that you will like it:

• Open a new document in Microsoft Expression Design 4.
  
  
  
  Figure 1.
   
• Select a Rectangle from the tools and draw it with height and width fit to your screen. Fill the Rectangle with black color.
  
  
  
  Figure 2.
  
  
  
  Figure 3.
   
• Import an Existing Image, i.e. File -> ImportImage :
  
  And choose the image that you want on your design Screen.
  
  
  
  Figure 4.
  
  
  
  Figure 5.
  
  Your window should be like this:
  
  
  
  Figure 6.
   
• Now Crop the Image:
  
  Select the image and under the Object menu is a pop out menu called "Image". Here you will get "Create Image Object" option:
  
  
  
  Figure 7.
   
• Drag a rectangle around the area you wish to Crop; a pop-up "Rasterise Area" appears showing dpi =96 (which is default) if you want to change than you can, and click OK:
  
  
  
  Figure 8.
  
  
  
  Figure 9.
   
• You will see a rectangle on the image outlining the new Image. Save the new image:
  
  
  
  Figure 10.
   
• If you want to see your cropped image on your artboard then drag it to another part of the artboard you will see two images :-- one original and one cropped:
  
  
  
  Figure 11.

For Tracing the Image

• Open another Document in "Microsoft Expression Design 4" and repeat the same procedure up to Importing the Image.
  
  
  
  Figure 1.
   
• Select the Image and under the Object menu click "Image". Here you will get "Auto Trace Image" option, after clicking on this you get a pop-up box "Auto Trace Image" click OK:
  
  
  
  Figure 2.
  
  
  
  Figure 3.
  
  Now your Image Should be like this:
  
  
  
  Figure 4.
   
• Drag the image downwards and wait for response.
   
• And after few seconds you will get your Traced Image. To see it clearly click somewhere else on the window:
