Select the photo, then from the menu, effects, powerclip, place inside container.
You get a bold arrow and point it to the outline you have drawn.
If you want to change it, you can extract the whole photo as it did not alter the original photo.
The other alternative is take it to corel photopaint. Draw a mask around it, invert to get the background and fill it with white. It helps to smooth feather the edge if you don't want a sharp cut like around a face.
If you do it all the time there is something called knockout that people have talked about.

This Cutout Lab feature is a huge timesaver when removing backgrounds.
