Rob Ryan (born 1962) [1] is a British visual artist who specialises in Papercutting and screen-printing.He is known for his detailed paper cut outs. His artwork has featured in Vogue, Elle, and Stylist.
When selecting a raster image that is not rectangular, it requires separating the edges from the background, also known as silhouetting. This is the digital-analog of cutting out the image from a physical picture. Clipping paths may be used to add silhouetted images to vector graphics or page layout files that retain vector data.
Cropping is the removal of unwanted outer areas from a photographic or illustrated image. The process usually consists of the removal of some of the peripheral areas of an image to remove extraneous visual data from the picture, improve its framing, change the aspect ratio, or accentuate or isolate the subject matter from its background.
The technique is used extensively in computer-aided design, see first image. It has also been incorporated into the user interface of some video games. In The Sims, for instance, users can select through a control panel whether to view the house they are building with no walls, cutaway walls, or full walls. [3]
Illustration by Jessie Willcox Smith (1863–1935).

Tilly's House (1979) - the story of a Dutch doll - was her first picture book as author and illustrator. [ 7 ] Heinemann commissioned Faith Jaques to re-illustrate the first four of Alison Uttley ’s Grey Rabbit tales, as the plates of the original illustrations by Margaret Tempest (1892-1982) had become too worn to be reprinted.
9-slice scaling (also known as Scale 9 grid, 9-slicing or 9-patch) is a 2D image resizing technique to proportionally scale an image by splitting it in a grid of nine parts. [1] The key idea is to prevent image scaling distortion by protecting the pixels defined in 4 parts (corners) of the image and scaling or repeating the pixels in the other ...
The resulting image is larger than the original, and preserves all the original detail, but has (possibly undesirable) jaggedness. The diagonal lines of the "W", for example, now show the "stairway" shape characteristic of nearest-neighbor interpolation. Other scaling methods below are better at preserving smooth contours in the image.
