help with background removal on x3

[Glenn Sharp]

Craig,

In Corel Photo Paint there is the Cutout feature……..It’s far from a one button operation but it works quite well….

Double clicking the bitmap in corel draw should automatically launch paint then go to Image and choose Cutout

[Craig Newton]

spot on i always forget about photo paint, cheers buddy

Or theres bitmap colour mask in corel draw, launch it from the bitmap menu then click colour mask. In the flyout click the eyedropper tool (the one in the bitmap colour mask window not the normal toolbar)

Click on the colour you want to remove (i.e. the background) click on apply, then just move the tolerance bar up and down and press apply again until you reach a satisfactory result.

Depends a bit on the image but I sometimes trace and slide the detail down untill I have just 1 shape and then I powerclip the bit map into that shape, I would then have a bitmap to print and a vector line to cut if contour cutting.
