Using Image Cutout Studio
Image Cutout Studio offers a powerful integrated solution for cutting objects
out from their backgrounds. Depending on the make up of your images you can
separate subject of interests from their backgrounds, either by retaining the
subject of interest (usually people, objects, etc.) or removing a simple uniform
background (e.g., sky, studio backdrop). In both instances, the resulting "cutout"
image creates an eye-catching look for your publication.
The latter background removal method is illustrated in the following multi-
image example.
The white initial background is discarded, leaving interim checkerboard
transparency, from which another image can be used as a more attractive
background. A red tint on the second image's background is used to indicate
areas to be discarded.
To launch Image Cutout Studio:
1. Select an image to be cut out.
2. Select
from the displayed Picture context
toolbar. Image Cutout Studio is launched.
Choose an output
It's essential that you choose an output type prior to selecting areas for
keeping/discarding. Either an alpha-edged or vector-cropped bitmap can be
chosen as your output type prior to selection. The choice you make really
depends on the image, in particular how well defined image edges are.
