Hi,

You should use either imcrop, or impoly.

Using imcrop, you can select a rectangular region of interset. By the way, there is also a syntax "IMG2 = imcrop(IMG);". You can use like this:

   grayImage = imread('pout.tif');
   figure, imshow(grayImage);
   img2 = imcrop;
   imshow(img2)

Using impoly, you can select a polygonal region of interest. This polygon can be represented as an ordered list of vertex coordinates. You can then convert this polygon into a binary mask by using "roipoly" function.
