Using Coral Paint I can delete the background from a model by using a mask. I can copy only the visible portion to the clipboard or save as a PNG file.
How can I put this object in to a show. Every way I have tried I'm getting a background (though blank) around the model.
All I want is the model.......any ideas or pointers would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Rod
So instead of the model, the background is selected?
I don't know Coral Paint, but in Photoshop there's an option to inverse the selection: choose the menu item: SELECT > INVERSE.
There must be a similar option in Coral Paint.

I'm not conveying the problem. I can do the inverse with Corel Paint also.
If I save the visible portion when I place it in to the show I still will get a blank framed border around the image. If I copy the visible to the clipboard and place it in a drawing all I get is the image.
Is there a file format I should use to keep from getting the border around the image or a way to place the image that I have on the clipboard in to the show?
Appreciate all the help on this as I would use BT a lot if I can figure this little issue out.

Corel PaintShop Pro:
From the File menu, choose' Export and then PNG Optimizer.
From the Transparency tab, select Alpha Channel Transparency and then check the Preview. You can zoom out if need be, to make sure that the background shows a checkerboard pattern (which represents transparency) on both the Before and After images, and then click OK and Save.

Michiel, Selina & komies thank you ever so much I am off to try your cures for my illness.
While waiting to see if someone could assist guess what? I saved the image in every format that Corel Paint offers. BT will import a Targa Bitmap and it imports as the image only!! LOL
I am also going to try the suggest means of doing it.
Thank you all very much,
