What's the best way to clean this up?

[Grenou]

Bob, thank you so much for doing this. I really appreciate it. Your the best !

Fascinating..
Why ask in a Paint Shop Pro forum, to do something in Xara?
I too use Xara, but this is PSP .

Just curious.

The OP didn't mention Xara. Bob just chose to do it using Xara.

The OP didn't mention Xara. Bob just chose to do it using Xara.

It could also be done in PSP, using the vector tools, although Xara's tools are a lot easier.
PSP's vector tools haven't been touched since the Jasc days.

The original question was how to clean the image, which is what I did.
Bob's new version looks a lot better, but that wasn't the question.

Bob was being kind. Bob just went ahead and did it using Xara.

Grenou, your solution and explanation is great.

I don't think the OP really cares much how it was done, provided a clean label comes out the other end.

Strictly speaking, providing complete solutions has never been the ethos of TG, but rather to help people do things for themselves, but I guess the OP is happy. TG would be a poorer place if this is all we did - provide the end product.

Hehe, there are ways and means.. ;-)
