Cutting out a picture.

[bkoshen]

I'm new to the software game and I have a question. In my flexi a took a picture, brought it into flexi, and I want to cut a square out. The problem is the square is not square so I can't just crop because the crop won't let me crop at odd angles. In the pic I would like to cut around the green.

Photoshop.

In flexi, use Bezier Path Tool (hotkey: P) to trace around the edge of the green. Then select both the photo and the square you drew, and goto Arrange-> Mask. You can also rotate the image in Flexi so it's straight.

The best way to do this is what weyandsign said. You cannot crop if you rotate. Some clipart I have used the transparency tool to remove the background and touch up with the eraser or I upload it to Adobe and remove the background.

In corel all you have to do is use the Shape Tool and move nodes around.

In Flexi use the transparency tool to remove the, I assume, gray surrounding the green outline. Then, depending on just what you mean by 'cut out', you can print and contour cut the non-transparent part. If you mean 'cut out' and have a non-rectangular bitmap, that's another subject entirely. Bitmaps ultimately want to be rectangular. There are ways, generally far too esoteric to go into here.

Is it bothering anyone that the liquid inside the glass is not level??? LOL
I am sorry I'm not familiar with flexi, but in sign lab you can make any shape and use alt C to cut that shape out of an image.

Is it photoshop?

Nah, someone already suggested that. While it's true this can be done in Photoshop... Sounds like the op can do it in flexi though, which is what I think they were asking.

Are you actually going to print a picture of a label as a job? It's not going to look good, all that small text.

Also, MSG and dried clam broth? Blurgh....
