The graphics editor CorelDraw is a popular illustration processing program. The process of working in CorelDraw consists in creating objects, editing them and applying various effects to them. At the same time, cutting is a basic skill that every user of the program should have.
Instructions
Step 1
Open the image you are going to work with. Adjust its contrast to maximize the "outline" of the element of the image you want to simplify the subsequent work. If the clipping element you want is monotonous and contrasts enough with the surrounding background, use the Magic Wand tool.
Step 2
If the element you need somehow merges with the rest of the image and the "magic wand" cuts off the extra pieces of the object, use the Bezier Curve tool. To do this, enlarge the image and position it in the program window in such a way that you can see the edges of the image as best as possible and it is easy to trace them.
Step 3
Carefully trace the element of the image you want to cut along its contour, while not forgetting to put corner points. Once the element is outlined, close the curve by clicking the Close button. Use the Shape tool to edit the curve to wrap around the part of the image you want. The tool can be found in the toolbar of the program or call it by pressing the "F10" key.
Step 4
Insert your image element into this curve to select the entire object, not just its outline. To insert, open the Effects menu and then follow the path PowerClip → Place Inside Container. An arrow will now appear to point to your curve.
Step 5
In case the element that you have selected is centered in relation to your curve, go to the "Tools" menu. There, from the "Options" section, go to the "Tab" section and then to the "Workspace" subsection. Uncheck the Auto-Center PowerClip box.
