Please add a cut out function

[mrieder]

I really like the look of Flameshot, but there is one feature that I miss and that prevents me from using the tool permanently: Cut Out.

Check out the feature in tools like Snag It and Screenpresso. Removing the middle part of a screenshot is one of the most used functions by me.

There are two points that I'm fuzzy about:

1. Use-case: can you elaborate on your use-cases of such feature (perhaps by a toy example)
2. Design: Considering the UI/UX of Flameshot, how should this be implemented. I mean how does the end product look like and feel like?

I think this can cut off mid ad banner

@mmahmoudian I'm really sorry for the late reply. I thought the reference to the other two tools was sufficient. I made a screen capture using ScreenPresso to give you a better idea.
Use case example: I need a screenshot of the "Upload to online platforms" image on the Flameshot website, but I would like to remove the white space in the image.

I don't know if a similar concept is feasible with Flameshot. With other tools, a screenshot is saved immediately after it is taken and then edited in a second step.
