Well, with your example there Egg, it's even simpler than that. Just double-click the image and drag in the clipping handles until you're left with the crop area you want.

Strangly Steve I'm aware of clipping using that method but I rarely use it. I continue to do it the way i do, must be a hang-up from before the clipping tool was introduced

I had to check this out, That does indeed activate the clipping in the camera enhance photo, well I certainly learned something today. Thanks Steve. That only works for a simple rectangular object however, for a more complex shape you might have to resort to the method shown in video you posted.
Teya, does any of this help?
Egg had done another that shows cutting out an object and placing it on a different background. If I recall correctly it was also a cow placed on some kind of red hills landscape. I'll see if I can find that and view to see if that might help.

Never give up. You will never fail, but you may find a lot of ways that don't work.
A big Thankyou to Steve.ledger, Egg Bramhill and wizard509! Both the example videos was exactly what I was looking for, I was trying to use freehand region tool! lol let me tell you not only did it take forever but looked terrible haha. So thanks again really appreciate the help!
Of course, there's always the Background Erase feature in Designer Pro X10 that can semi-automatically "cut" parts out of photos...
Phil
Yes exactly - the Erase Background tool is specifically designed for this task of cutting objects out of photos!
@Teya - go to the Erase tool (4th button down on the main toolbar), select your photo and click the "Erase background" button on the InfoBar. It will take you through the steps required to cut out the object you want in the photo.
@Gary/Steve/etc. - is it just that you forgot about this tool or do you think it doesn't do the job well enough?
Thanks
Neil
@Neil,
Rarely do the photos I need to remove a background on lend themselves to using the background erase--and I can do a quicker/better job in a dedicated photo editor when it would be best. I find it too fiddly to use, or maybe its from too many years of using a photo editor and my little brain has difficulty in changing (this last bit is the most likely...).
But using Steve's tried and true method in his video is most often the quickest means of doing a good job on many subjects. Unless the subject is something one can just use the method Egg mentions and Steve follows up on, of course, but having a purely rectangular subject is rare in my case.
Mike
NeilH, It does however it is still going to be rectangular the same as the photo. That is why learning how to cut out an image from it's background as shown in the video Steve posted might give superior results.
EDIT: Teya, glad you got it sorted out.
