delete part of the pic in Illustrator cs5
I added a picture in a layer in Illustrator cs5 and I'd like to use the lasso tool to delete part of the pic. But I could not do it. I know I can do that in Photoshop but I am not familiar with Illustrator. Thanks

So I attached the .ai file (plz rename it to temp.ai). I'd like to delete the bottom of a tooth picture. In Photoshop, you just select it with the rectangle shape and delete. How do you do that in Illustrator? Thx

"First off all this is not an image, this is a PDF saved as AI with vector information."
I am confused. I create this file under illustrator. I added 2 layers, one for the blue circle and one for the tooth. I saved it as a .ai exptension. How can it be from a pdf?

OK, it appears as a PDF type grouping of layers when I open it up in Illustrator. Not as a picture.
In any case the solution posted will work all the same.
At Tom Beck, nice trick but it may be easier to use the second circle and use the 'Divide' from the Pathfinder and delete the redundant section rather than drawing anchor points by hand :o)

Captain,
I see your file. But what I want to do is to delete the bottom half of the tooth because I want to add some text below it.

I see. So there is no way to just cut and delete half of the tooth like in Phostoshop. I will try your suggestion. Thx
