How To Remove Background From Picture in CorelDraw | CorelDraw Tutorial For Beginners
TLDRIn this CorelDraw tutorial, the presenter demonstrates how to remove the background from an image, leaving only the subject. The process involves using the Pen Tool to trace around the edges of the subject, ensuring the line touches the body edges for accurate background removal. After tracing, the nodes are marked with 'Ctrl A' and converted to curves. The Shape Tool is then used to adjust the traced outline to fit the body shape precisely. To remove the background, two methods are presented: using the Lens Effects by pressing 'Alt + F3' and selecting 'Color' then 'Add from List' followed by 'Frozen', or using the Intersect Button by holding the Shift key and clicking the traced image and the background. The latter is deemed the fastest and easiest method. The video concludes with the presenter removing the unnecessary background, leaving the desired image. The next tutorial will cover adding a new background to the cropped picture.
