Getting rid of rectangular border from imported image

[Mascitti Bro]

im sure it's a simple task for most, but at the moment I'm struggling to do this so it can be sent to the Printer to cut just the image, not the rectangle surrounding image? (LXi software, then sending to newest Versa works)

This is actually what it looks like on my screen... (poor, late night photo-apologies)

Can you select the bitmap then go to Bitmap, Make Transparent? It gives you a little wand that you can "brush over" (just a quick click) the white area then click the check mark. Not sure if that gives you what you need or not.

Yes, I have seen that wand- will give that a shot tonight, thanks so much!

Select the bitmap, use the Bitmap->Make Transparent tool to make the white background transparent, and then add a contour cut to the resulting image.

Also, don't let customers send you screenshots. Not saying it applies to this particular order (and for anyone else reading this thread), but if you can screenshot it, you can probably save the file and send it. Cause that file could have been a hi-res PNG and you wouldn't have needed to do anything except add the contour. It can also protect you from people sending you artwork they don't have permission to get printed.
