Can this be done

InfanView Sledger? I looked all over Xara and searched the help files but I could not find anything that was called InfanView. You must mean this InfanView?

Bob, there is a plug in that is included with Photo and Graphics Designer called Mehdi Eraser Classic.

Select your bitmap, click the Live Effects Tool (the electrical plug icon), Press New > on the Infobar, then select Mehdi > Mehdi Eraser Classic.

You may need to experiment with the Tolerance slider to get the cleanest outline.

Whenever possible, however, it is best to create a vector shape the same as the portion of the image you wish to preserve, then use the shape to mask the bitmap using Combine Shapes > Intersect Shapes or Apply ClipView (both found in the Arrange menu). This creates a vector edge to the bitmap which is always the smoothest and cleanest solution.
