Re: What versions of 'picture it' has the cutout tool
I see you are using Picture It! 10. I just upgraded from 7.0 which had the cutout feature. This one allows you to make a cutout but it is a process.
Here are the directions on the help page:
To create a cut-out:
- Make sure the StackThe palette in the workspace that shows
the layering order of objects. appears in the workspaceThe grey area that surrounds the canvas..
- On the Stack, click the object you want to make a cut-out from.
- On the workspace toolbar, click one of the following selection tools:
- The marquee
toolA tool that helps you
select part of an object in the shape of a rectangle, circle, or other shape.
This tool is useful for cropping objects or pictures to a standard shape.
- The freehand
toolA tool that enables
you to make a selection by drawing on the canvas.
- The Edge
FinderA tool that enables
you to make a selection by tracing what versions of 'picture it' has the cutout tool - edgefinderbutton.gifn area in the
picture.
- The Magic what versions of 'picture it' has the cutout tool - magicwandtoolbutton.gifl that enables
you to select areas of similar colour simultaneously.
On the picture, use the selection tool to make a selection.

Optional: Switch
the background picture.
- On the Files
paletteThe palette in the
workspace that holds all currently opened picture files. click a picture.
The new picture is opened on the canvas.
- or -
- On the File menu, click Open.
- Locate the picture you want, and then click OK.
The new picture is opened on the
canvas.
- On the Edit menu, click Paste.
The new object is pasted on the canvas, and it shows up as a new object in
the Stack.
Note
If you paste the new object into the same picture you copied it from, it will
blend in with the background picture until you move it or resize it.
Tip
You can soften the selection with the anti-aliasA
selection option in which the pixels along the edge of a selection can be
partially selected. In most cases this makes the edge of a selection appear
smoother. or featherTo soften the edges of a selected area

which helps the new object blend in with a new background picture.
