Corel Draw 12 basics

[powerhouski]

Hi,

I am a newbee to graphics and I would appreciate your help.
I got a cut out of 2 figures out of photos using Photoshop CS and then copied it to Draw 12. I created a logo that I want join together into one piece. These 3 elements have white rectangular background field that I don't know how to remove. I managed to arrange them using bring to back or to front commands but it is not ideal. Is there any way to make this backgroung go or become transparent?

The whole project is a club logo and I want to make the 2 figures to become links to different web pages. When I group all 3 elements together I can't insert to different links to 2 figures. When I transfer these 3 elements to Frontpage separately, I cant arrange them because of the white backgrounds...

I'm stuck - please help

2 ways sprint to mind
1 - from draw double click on your 'bitmap' image, this should launch Paint - use the cut out option under image and draw round the part you want and delete the rest. Close Paint and the image will be in Draw minus background, repeat for further images.
2 - Draw shape in Draw and then Powerclip image into that shape. Both have an advantage over the other ie powerclip an outline can be added to the shape with cutout the edges are more irregular.
