3 Learning Basic Editing Commands Using the Magic Cut Feature Using the "Magic Cut" feature is great for cutting out specific objects of an image for pasting into other images. 1. Click File on the Main Menu, and then click Magic Cut. 2. Use the Pencil tool within the Magic Cut window to draw around the object you wish to cut out. Use the Eraser tool if you make any mistakes while "masking out" the object. This tool will remove anything that you've drawn using the Pencil tool. Zoom and Pan controls are available so that you can easily see the area that you're masking. 3. Once you advance to the next step, use the Brush tool within the Magic Cut window to "clean up" your cut-out. Use the tool along the edges to regenerate any part of the image that may have been inadvertently removed. The remaining tools remain the same as the last step. 4. Once you click Finish, a new, transparent image will appear. You can then Cut/Copy and Paste the image as a new layer on other images. Adding a Border PhotoStudio is able to add pixels to the outside edge of an image, which is ideal for creating more space for an object that's crowding the edge of the image. To add a border around an image: 1. Click Edit on the Main Menu. 2. From the drop-down menu, choose Add Border. 3. In the Add Border dialog box, enter the number of pixels to be added to each side of the image. 4. Click OK to confirm, or press Cancel to abort the operation. Note: The newly added border area remains transparent until painted or pixels are moved into it. Changing an Image's Size and Resolution Use the Image Size command to alter the physical size or resolution of an image so that its file size is small enough to fit on a floppy disk or to send via email, or to increase a file's resolution so it's ready to print. To adjust the size and resolution of an image: 1. Click Edit from the Main Menu. 2. From the drop-down menu, choose Image Size. 3. From the Image Size dialog box, check Keep Aspect Ratio to maintain the proportions of the original image. 4. Type in the new values for the width and height of the image, and/or enter a new value for the image's Learning Basic Editing Commands 3-7
