I slightly overlooked a little info in your previous post. Using the
Photopaint technique i mentioned earlier, after you delete the object via
the Freehand tool, use the "Magic Wand tool" to select the white
background,
Mask>Invert, then save in Photopaint. Now you have a cropped image that
follows the coastline.

Btw, you can tweak the tightness of the coastline edge by using Mask>Mask
Outline>Reduce, width=1pixel, as well as remove any other artifacts that may
have been left behind by masking them and deleting them. Just play around
and have fun.
