Need Clipart help

[Cindy Rhoades]

I am trying to delete all but a small border of the outside of the background but am having fits. I tried to just take out the background and that was not pretty. I am still learning Corel and will probably be learning until I stop using it. I use this image for my business cards but need to modify my cards therefore I need to eliminate most of the surrounding black.

I can't open your file, is it X4?: (I only have X3).

Have you tried opening the image in paint, and cutting/cropping the part you want?

[Mike Christen]

I have the same problem opening the file, I'm at X3 also

Is this the idea that you had. I deleted almost all background and added oval. The oval can be removed by ungrouping and deleting.

yes I have x4.

Ed I like what you did but what I was trying to do is essentially keep the atrwork in the center and reduce the ooutside black area to a border around the artwork.

I think I have figured it out I had to convert to bitmat and then go into cutout lab to take out what I wanted to discard. This is a rough draft I need to try to clean up the edges and make it a little cleaner. Thanks for the help. I am still doing a lot of trial by error with corel draw but I am slowly getting ther.

I didn't try to open your file but when you post a file here it's good to save it back to version 11 or earlier as version X4 can't be opened by anybody with earlier versions.

I'm with Mike. Waste of time for me in x4
