Totally fed up with Paintshop Pro XI

I personally would use the selection tool. Use the selection tool, in the freehand mode for the dragonfly, then invert, delete the background

Again it's a question of personal preference and practice I'm sure.

I tried the selection tool [magic wand] but found that much more fiddly to get the whole dragonfly and nothing but, than whizzing round with the background eraser.

I tried selecting both inverting and non inverting.
