Corel has incorporated Knockout features into the Corel PhotoPaint software. They call the feature "Cutout Lab". Do a seach in the help index file for "cutout" and it will offer a tutorial on this. You can also look at Pages 16-17 of this pdf document.
pdf LINK Be patient, with a broadband connection this will take about 30 seconds to completely open. It is a 4.5 meg pdf file.
This Cutout Lab feature is a huge timesaver when removing backgrounds.

If you are using Corel X3 and working in draw there is now a crop tool inside of draw. Left toolbar third item down. Select it and surround the area of the picture that you want to keep and a grid will come up showing the area that will stay. Double click and that's all that will be left. Great new tool.

Engravers Journal just ran an article on this same subject by Mike Clarke which would help. Don't know if you take this magazine, if not, consider it, I've found it useful, and good value, even paying the overseas rate
