I know that it was just posted on how to select an image and cut out the exterior shape. X16 can't find the topic the process was discussed.

Thanks

Try the Boundary Tool as mention by Rudy and Larry

"You need the Create Boundary tool. I don't know any version of Corel except X3, so if your above that, you will just have to look in your particular version for it. In X3 it's under the Effects menu item. This tool will put a hairline boundary around your object, but it is a raster (bitmap) image, you will have to vectorize it using Trace. It will not work with a bitmap. Once this is done, assuming you haven't moved the artwork from it's original position from where you rastered it, you should be able to cut it out." Larry


"Try going to Arrange , Shaping, then boundary." Rudy


Thanks Guys
