taken to the Create Mask Screen. From here, you can open images and create up to three
masks. You’ll then be able to insert other photos into each mask to create your
Funhouse image. The tools described below can be used to create and modify
your masks.
– These tools are used to manually add or remove a masked area. Select
the appropriate tool, then click and drag on your image to set the mask
area (or remove the mask area). Alternately, you can add or remove a
mask by clicking at various points — the mask border will be drawn
from point to point. Double-click to close the masked area.
– Several brush sizes are available for you to use. Select a brush when
you use the Paint, Eraser, or Blur tools to create a mask.
– Use the Paint tool to draw a mask on the image. Using your mouse,
click and drag to create a mask. To erase any masked area, use the
Eraser tool. It works the same way as the Paint tool, except it removes
masked areas instead of creating them. The Blur tool is excellent
for creating a soft edge around masked areas. By blending a mask
around the edges, it will look much nicer when a photo is inserted
into the mask. When using any of these tools, you can select various
brush sizes.
– Use these sliders to adjust the brightness, contrast, and saturation of
the template.
Emailing Images
Once your Funhouse image is complete, you can email it by clicking the
Send
button on
the Main Screen. You will be asked to choose either AOL or another MAPI-compliant
10
program. Make the appropriate choice, then click OK. You’ll see that the image file size
is listed, along with the time it will take to email the image at different Internet
connection speeds.
Notes on Acquiring/Capturing Images
If you have problems acquiring or capturing images, contact the manufacturer of the
device you are using. You may need to get updated drivers. Driver updates are usually
free and available online at the manufacturer’s Web site.
