Depending on the project, yes. If you're cutting blank space it doesn't matter, but if you're cutting directly onto a printed area, that definitely helps you avoid white space when the cutting is inevitably off by a fraction of a mm or so. I try to do most graphics with a contour that is a bit larger than the design for 2 reasons. 1) To avoid the appearance of blank space 2) To avoid the potential for curling of the vinyl that sometimes happens when cutting printed graphics.
Right after you complete the trace, the background is grouped with the foreground. You should be able to right click the grouped image, click "ungroup", then click off of the selected objects(deselect them). Then you should be able to select the background by itself by clicking on it, and then hit delete on your keyboard. If that doesn't work, reach back out and I'll try to help you get it figured out.
Eveytime we reinstall, this becomes a must-watch video. Thats for being concise.
Thank you for that feedback!!
omg i was nervous about this program and i am a hands on learner but your video just gave me confidence that i can do this
That's awesome, Monie!! You can do it for sure!!
@@woodunlimited HI QUESTION I JUST DOWNLOADED COREL BUT I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO ADD THE BN-20 SWATCH PALLET TO COREL DO YOU HAVE A VIDEO ON HOW TO DO IT
Great video thanks can i use CorelDRAW Essentials 2024 or it has to be professional?
This should work for both. If you discover that it doesn't let me know and I'll try to figure out what you need to do differently.
Do we need to create a bleed across the art?

At about the 9:56 mark you deleted the background from the image, but how did you do that?

@@woodunlimitedso that made sense and I was successful. Thank you. My next question is… is there a video on how to put a contour on a complex image?
@@terricurley1475 can you insert a link of a complex image and I'll take a look?
I’m trying to post a link and it doesn’t appear to be letting me.
