How can you take the background out of a picture? What I am wanting to do is make a cut of a photo but want the background out of it. Any suggestions?
Also, is there a way to put a cut line in the middle of a picture to cut off something I don't want?

That would depend on the photo. If you have good contrast with your subject and the background, then you can either trace directly, then edit the vector, or use a photo editing program. Some of them have tools designed just for that. If you don't have a program with that capability, then sometimes you can use the paint bucket tool.EdeeJohnson wrote:How can you take the background out of a picture?

If you don't have good contrast between the background and your subject, you may have to use the Bezier tool in Ink. I use it fairly often when working with photos, and it is pretty quick and easy unless you have a really detailed outline.
