Hi Creekers,
I took on a small job I wish I hadn't but one that should lead to more/better work via this customer. I'm sure you know that drill.
Anyhooo, it's a pet memorial, to be etched on granite, of a grey cat. The problem is he's sitting on a grey sofa in the photo and both colours are very similar. Of course it's also a 72dpi photo, very grainy. I want to get rid of the sofa clutter and just show the cat, highlighted by a vignette. I used the eraser to contour around the cat and completely eliminate the sofa but the resultant pure white didn't etch well at all. What is your recommended procedure for this task using Corel X3?
Thanks a heap for any advice.
