I have scanned a postcard with a picture of a irregular shaped object. I would like to remove the background, leaving only the object, so that when I paste that object unto documents or other pictures, it will not have that unsighty oblong thing covering part of the picture. I have access to Adobe PhotoShop 7, Corel Draw 10 and PaintShop Pro7, but am very new with them. What is the best or correct way to do it ? What other programs are better ? I have tried using the 'magic wand' tool and vaiours attempts at cut and paste and tried making the background 'transparent' but was only able to make the background white. Thanks.
