Clip Image with Current Polygon

Click the Image | Clip Image | Current Polygon command to clip an image to a previously drawn polygon. The polygon can exist on any layer in the project. All images in the project that are on non-locked, visible layers are clipped to the polygon.

 

To clip an image with a polygon:

  1. Import an image into the project by clicking the File | Import command.

  2. Click the Draw | Polygon, Draw | Rectangle, Draw | Circle, or Draw | Spline Polygon command. A polygon must be a simple polygon, not a complex polygon.

  3. Click on the polygon to select it.

  4. Click the Image | Clip Image | Current Polygon command. The image portions outside the polygon are removed.

 

Digitize a polygon around the area you would like to retain. The polygon is shown as a thick black line above.

Select the polygon and click the Image | Clip  Image | Current Polygon command to clip the image.
