Hello

You're right, JPG doesn't support transparency, but I wrote that jpg in Illustrator can be placed without background (path will be masking background).

Yes, it's nearly the same function as Egg uses in his popular YouTube video about "Extracting part of a photograph" - not with Adobe Photoshop, but with Xara Xtreme. It's a different method, but it's a good one.

Xara Xtreme includes bitmap images within a vector drawing and allows you to handle these bitmaps with some clever vector methods (the path keeps editable all the time).
