another dumb question from me I have a customer who needs me to print a photo onto fabric with my DTG machine. I have scanned the photo...and now I have the photo in the middle of a white box. In other words Corel sees the whole bed of the scanner in the file - not just the photo. How do I get rid of the box?
Use the "Crop" tool. It will allow you to select the area that you wish to see, and everything else goes away - just crop "in" the photo, and it will crop "out" the white box.
Thanks for replying Melanie. I'm pretty sure I don't know how to use that tool! When I click on the crop tool and then draw a box around the photo...then what? I tried delete, and that delted the photo and still left me with the box! Sorry to be so hopeless!
I'm not familiar with Corel but I know with photoshop you can right click on the area you have cropped and choose the "Select Inverse" option. It will then select everything you don't want to keep. Hope this helps!
go back to the crop tool - draw the rectangle around the image - adjust it with the 'handles' on the sides if you need to - double click inside the rectangle to activate the crop.
