They are self explanatory.

Thanks, @glv, but it is saving the entire frame. I want to save only the clipped portion of the image.
Regards.

You must use the correct syntax for `get()` to _get_ a section of an image.
Find the reference for `get()` and it will elaborate on this
The same applies for a PImage save.
As a beginner it is important to become familiar with the resources available to you.

Thanks a lot. I think with correct syntax of get() and Pimage.save() I can achieve desired result.
Regards.

PImage new1 = oldImg1. get(30,200,60,60);
new1.save(…);

You certainly will!
References:
[PImage / Reference / Processing.org](https://processing.org/reference/PImage.html) \< get() and save() for a _PImage_ are in there!
There are two references for get():
- [https://processing.org/reference/get\_.html](https://processing.org/reference/get_.html) \< Use for image on sketch canvas!
- [https://processing.org/reference/PImage\_get\_.html](https://processing.org/reference/PImage_get_.html) \< Use for PImage directly!
If you want to explore further there is a tutorial on _Images and Pixels_ and _Render Techniques_

Thanks and regards, @glv,
It worked well. I have achieved the desired result.
Soon I’ll present the synopsis of my undergoing App. I hope, you will guide me.
Thanks for everything.
