Embedded cut-outs

I have a jpeg which I understand has a cut-out embedded in it. It's a lotus flower and I want to eliminate the background and just pull out the flower. I don't know what having a cut-out embedded even means. Can I remove the flower and leave the background behind?

Use the -clip option after reading in the image.

This forum is for ImageMagick software nothing to do with Photoshop etc.

Check Anthony's signature for examples of how it works and what it does then decide if this is what you are looking to use?

If it is what you want to use a link to the image and what method you intened to use would help.

Sorry Bonzo. In this case I have no examples. -clip is not something I have example images for, so have no examples for it.

The same goes for the other similar options -clip-path, -clip-mask, and -mask.

Of course if they did exist they would be placed in 'Channels and Masks' section, perhaps you like to explore and write up an example for inclusion. The source HTML I follow is reasonably simple.
