Removing background from fire/flames?

Hi,

i have a picture of fire lifting into flames. I need to add this to some print artwork in coreldraw 13. what is the best way to do this? the flames are on a black background and the canvas i am putting them onto is also black... but when i just add it like that then it prints with 2 different blacks... i have tried cropping it but im not getting a great result... any advice/ideas please :)

cheers.

Could you send this photo? (studio@photowithoutbackground.com)

Have a look at this movie tutorial by Deke McCellan he uses a mask which I think would be the best way to go. Find the movie here: http://movielibrary.lynda.com/html/modPage.asp?id=416
