I use Fireworks, but I cannot figure out how to crop the following picture:
 
 
I want to crop the grass out of the picture. I also want to crop out the blue sky and the electrical wires out of this piccture. How do I remove the shadow from the end of the sign?

For cropping, just click on crop, click and drag the area you want to KEEP, release the mouse button and hit enter.

Cropping doesn't really help. The sign is uneven. I also would like to know how to remove the shadow from the side of the sign.

Not sure about fireworks but in photoshop there is a lasso tool, use the polygonal one. Just click around the border of the sign and when you reach the other side the sign will be selected. Then go to Edit > Copy Merged create a new document (the size will be automatically generated) with a transparent background, press enter and your done.

With the shadow you may have to use a copy brush on the reds and do pixel work on the letters. I don't think any filter is smart enough to do it right as you want it.

To be honest I think you should take the picture again, it is wonky, has a shadow and some of the sign is cut off

You could probably draw that sign fairly easily, wouldn't look photo realistic but it only compromises of a few elements.
