Trying to remove a white backround in Corel x4. from a jpeg image. Need some direction. Thank You.

I dont have x4 but I think you will have to use photopaint from coreldraw..

Go to Bitmaps in Draw and click on Edit Bitmap and photopaint will open, then go to Mask dropdown then Color Mask. Use the eyedropper on the popup window and click the white area, then click the eraser tool and hit delete. Click Save and it will automatically put it back in draw.

If you don't want to edit in photopaint, you can also use the "Bitmap Color Mask" command inside DRAW.

Thanks for the info. I followed your instuctions, seems to remove the image. I must be doing something wrong.
1 edit bitmap
2 color mask
3 select eye dropper in box & clicked wh. area.
Select eraser tool on left tool bar & hit delete.
when I hit save it does not go back to Corel Draw, When I move it there the image is gone, the dots are still there but no image.
I'll keep trying --- THANK YOU

This is from the Help menu in Corel:

1. Select the bitmap by using the Pick tool .

2. Click Bitmaps Bitmap color mask.

3. Enable one of the following options:

5. Move the Tolerance slider to set the color tolerance for the color.

6. Click the Color selector button .

7. Click the color that you want to hide or display.

8. Click Apply.

Are there more steps to this procedure?

Thanks Again!

No, that's just about it. You just have to play with the tolerance slider, but you can start with 1% if the white background is not pixelated.

Glad to be of help. Just want to add that you might have to use the eraser tool also if the tolerance you selected leaves some more of those undesired pixels/background.
