converting photo to a black white img with transparent background image

[pawel]

Hi Folks,

Now I have found big, at least for me, issue because i used it frequently in designer prox10 but it won't work in designer prox16 shame and bad!

1 as on enclosed image i used to take a photo (on the left)
2 then with SATURATION, BRIGHTNESS, CONTRAST,
changed the image to grey scale img than with contrast and brightness to a black & white image.
3 now to clear white from the img i used the menu EDIT and with function COPY CLIPPED PHOTO i have
copied the black & white image
4 after that still in menu EDIT i used the function PASTE > PASTE OPACITY MASK IN PLACE that made the
black´&white image to erase all black color from the img
5 now with the new img with black kolor transparent i have just choose the black color a with LMB to make
the transparent back black and the white background automatically became transparent
Voila the new black image with transparent backgroung is done - BUT!

in new prox16 - it does not work!!!
here i take the freedom to swear - what the [deleted by moderator] did xara folks do to the great software xara nothing of importance seem to work in the latest version - God damned!

as xara folks does not care much of us my only hope is that you folks ordinary user like me has any idea ifwhat i have just decribed is possible to do with prox16
i enclose the image on the example if somebody would try to do what i could not manage in prox16

i am devastated about what xara has become from great graphics software to a piece of almost useless software.

cheers
Pawel
