Optimized clipping tutorial--help needed

MooShu · Message par **MooShu** » 12 févr. 2006 1:11

All I want to do is to be able to crop to the outline of an object (and the optimized clipping is an EXCELLENT tool for this), then paste that object onto another background, but no matter what I do before I paste, the object still has an opaque white background behind it. How do I get rid of that?

I used the tutorial found here, http://photofiltre.free.fr/tutoriels/op ... ipping.htm but it's not working for me...
For whatever reason, when I get to step B2-B3, something goes awry.

I get this part

and I copy it, but I never get the "image of the clipped feline"

and if I try to "3. Edit / Paste spécial / Assemble the paste / Right", "assemble the paste" is greyed out so I can't select it anyway.

Could someone help me figure this out before my head explodes?

Are you sure, "assemble the paste" can not be grayed if "Paste spécial" is active.

Sorry, I wasn't clear..."Paste special" is greyed out, so that I cannot choose it to perform "assemble the paste."

I downloaded 6.2.1 (English)

In this case, Paste special is grayed only if the clipboard is empty or if the format is not standard. When you use the copy function, try to paste using Edit > paste to test if it works...

Phew, I actually figured this out now. It just turns out that my English isn't so good. THANK YOU--it's a nice program and I like it a lot more now that my head isn't going to explode.
