    Pauland - I still do it that way. Trace an image and delete portions I'm not using. Through those service companies that remove backgrounds on photos in situations where singular strands of hair can be kept while background are removed have some utility, but as others have mentioned, it's not free. Rather than paying someone else anything, I just spend the time needed to cut the backgrounds myself using Xara.

    I'm sure there are some YouTube videos showing how to remove backgrounds using Xara. I can't remember the guys name that shows how but somewhere I have his vids.

    Never give up. You will never fail, but you may find a lot of ways that don't work.

    I think Larry is referring to Xhris. I did a search and it seems his website link does not work any more.

    Any Links by trolls (meaning users that have no history of good useful posts) should not be allowed in my opinion. However subjects should all be about xara, I do not mind video tutorials on masking with xara tools.

    What depresses me is stellar users like Xhris who have abandoned xara.
