Hello!
In a photo, I cut out an elliptical or round face.I saved the cutted image as .; "New from clipboard" No problem, the background is now transparent.
But now I want to make the edges of the oval or round image transparent.(then I want to put the result image on another image)
How can I make the edges transparent with Corel Photo Paint (or Corel Draw)?

The following steps are what I find to be the best way to get a soft edged elliptical cutout from an image...starting from scratch:
Job's done! At step 5, if the image goes blurred then it means you have the Object selected and not the clip mask. Just click on the clip mask thumbnail in the Object Docker and then apply your blur. By default, when you first create the clip mask it will be active already. Do not click on the Object or the clip mask will lose focus.
I haven't used X3 for a long time, so I hope everything is where I have shown above.
Best regards,Brian.
If I use the original image, it works. - I got 100% transparency at the edges. (Great!)But if I try to cut off the actual area, I fail. (the original image is very large)
If I cut and use a piece from the original image, the alternative "Object>Create>From Background" is greyed (and I don't know how to add the new image to the background.)
Why it didn't work before (above).: I used a too small image to make it transparent at the edges.
