Question

How do you crop out the remaining part of an image

Jan 25, 2015 8:58PM PST

Usually when I export an image, the whole background gets exported too, which is usually fine except in some cases like mine right now: I'm trying to slap the logo onto a slideshow movie and each slide already has their background image.

I don't want to place a bland white square on anywhere of the screen to make the slideshow look messy.

Anybody got an excellent idea?


BTW. The slideshow is created by Corel VS.

TIA!

That's called a transparent gif or transparent png. I'm sure you can make it with Corel.

I dont see that option on VS, and I do hope we're talking about the same thing.

But I tried more than A HUNDRED TIMES and it didn't work(still a damn near perfect uncropped non-transparent squary image logo)

I have saved it as a PNG file and it appears to be a perfectly cropped image in the software.

Any idea as to what could be causing this problem?

I can't see what you did so maybe you can put the image up on your Public Dropbox, share a link so folk can check your image file. Or you can make a Youtube and ask for folk to check your work.
