1.Select a image on a page.

2.On the Layout menu, click Snap to all guides.

3.Select the polygon tool 15_polygon_16 and then on the Tools menu, point to Polygons and click Start a sub-polygon or path.

4.Click where you want to begin a clipping path.

5.Move the tool to the next suitable point, and then click again – this connects points with a straight rule.

6.Continue so until you are close to the starting point again. Press 8 to close the path.
At this point, Fred4 clears temporarily the area within the clipping path.

7.With the polygon tool 15_polygon_16, click and select any external corner of the image box.

8.On the Tools menu, point to Polygons and then click Delete path.
This clears the background of the image and make visible only the content within the clipping path.
