Hi there,
anyone found a way of printing the 1911 census without leaving the balck portion at the right, as it takes a lot of ink and its far too small to see without a magnifiying glass.
thanks folks

You could probably crop the part you don't want using any photo software

Can somebody tell me how to crop these images - same with other census records. I've saved them all as JPEGS, bet I've done the wrong thing!!!

If you've got the latest version of MS Paint (comes with Windows 7) cropping is quite easy. Open the jpeg with Paint, zoom out till the whole image is on screen, click on 'select', select the area you want to keep, then click on 'crop' and save the file - job done.

With older versions of Paint it's a little bit more fiddly. Open the jpeg in Paint and go to the bottom right hand corner of the image (use the side and bottom bars if necessary to bring it on screen). Position the cursor on the bottom right corner till it changes to a double-ended diagonal arrow. Now hold down the mouse button and move the cursor to the bottom right corner of the area you wish to keep (you may need to do this in two or more stages depending on the size of the image) and release the mouse button. Now click on 'image' and 'flip/rotate' and rotate the image 180 degrees so the top left is now bottom right, and repeat the cropping process. Finally, rotate the image through 180 deg again to get it right way up again and save it Just a word of caution; when rotating the image make sure that you have NOT selected a portion of it as then it would only rotate the selected portion. If in doubt make a copy of the image before you start so you can get the original back if anything goes wrong.
