I"ve spent several days (reading/watching Utubes) trying to figure out how to make the background on this artwork transparent <sigh> I have a friend that usually does this for me (in another program) but, I really need to learn how to be self sufficent. Any help would sincerely be appreciated. Thank you!
The question Susie is do you want rectangle tin tin or do you want to cut out and blend the fluffy hair? This a sloppy 30 second job but can be done correctly if that's what you're looking for.
Why is this post under Corel Font Manager 2017? Too easy. Edit in Photopaint, use magic wand toll to select white, hit select same. Duplicate image in the layer manager, delete orig, hit delete key, close and save. Need to adjust just open in PP again and use the eraser tool to tweak edges.

Exactly what I said the problems start with using these features with real world photographs. My clients send me original images like I posted and have knockout concepts. That's fine because most times they have the budget.
"That's fine because most times they have the budget."
At my age and temperament it's best they only come to me if they have the budget. Th eoriginal, the second about 45 seconds the third about another 10 seconds. I can meld that in a bit better in maybe 3 more minutes. However by reducing the brush stroke most likely I'll not need to meld it in at all.
Here is the original and the first step, it took about 30 seconds, now the fun begins.
Well, with your low-res image, this was 5 minutes...
Now do it in color. The original is a color image as is the first rough cut out on top of black. My next step is to cut out the transparent areas under her arm, then finish the cutout, smooth out the transitions and place it on a color background.
12 minutes...
Not bad still in Photoline? I'll work on a background that doesn't hide the sins.
Yes. btw, the background, while rgb, is grayscale in appearance. It's been colorized as well as pumping up some of the model's color.
