Editing Photos in PhotoPC 500 7-5
A
B
When you release the mouse button, an “animated”
rectangle surrounds the selected area:
NOTE
After you select an area, you can use many of the PhotoPC 500
menu commands and tools to work on the area. For example, you
can use the
Crop
,
Resize
, and
Rotate
tools. See pages 7-6 to 7-8
for more information about cropping, resizing, and rotating.
Once you have added a selection mask, you can work with
it by following these procedures:
❙
To move the selected area, click and drag inside the
area. The selection “floats” on top of the original image.
❙
To decrease the size of a selection or change its shape,
press
Ctrl
while you select part of the already selected
area.
❙
To remove the selection mask, click anywhere outside
it, or press the
Delete
key. If the entire image is selected,
click the
Crop
tool and then click the image to remove
the selection mask.
❙
To cancel all changes made to the selected area and
remove the selection mask, choose
Discard
from the
Edit menu. But be careful!
This works only while the
selection is “active.”
