Hide it in the same colour.
Is it a shape or an image?

It's the background. I shoot all my stuff with a green screen.

use mask painter tool to cover some of the area you wish to keep - you dont need to do all of it
then use eraser tool to erase some of the background
then click on erase background button on eraser info bar
not an exact science, but if your green screen is in high contrast to your content, it should work

GUG, you really need to have said it is an image with a green screen background.
1. Use the ERASER TOOL to roughly paint over the parts of the picture you want to erase (the background).
2. Select the Mask Painter Tool and paint over some of the parts of the foreground you want to keep.
3. Select the ERASER TOOL again and then click on ERASE BACKGROUND on the top InfoBar.
There is an annoying pop-up guide but its Links are:

No sure what version you have but in later versions you can use Photo Tool > Select Colors to Enhance
Click on the color you want to erase, use the slider settings to select the range and transparency, then Right Click on the circle and select Make Transparent.
After you have done this you can click on the circle again and adjust the Tolerance and Fade settings.
When you're happy with the results, switch to the Selector Tool and from Arrange, select Flatten Photo Group.
I use this feature almost every day and it works really well with single colors, such as a green background, so long as there is no green in the image you are dropping out the background.
