Hi Nathan,

if the corners are supposed to be white, and not transparent, you will need to put a white object of the size and shape of your image behind the image (create a rectangle and make it white, copy the image, and paste the image's size onto the rectangle by using Edit -> Paste Size -> Paste Size).

Then use a clip path on the image.
