Cutting out objects from photos
To cut out part of a photo you can either draw an ordinary shape over the top of the photo and then use
the combine shapes operations in the Arrange menu to cut the photo with the shape (see the Shape
Handling chapter
for details).
Once you've cut out a piece of a photo, it's often a good idea to apply a small amount of feather to blur
the edge slightly.
Brush styles
The Freehand & Brush Tool
can also be used to apply different brush stroke styles along the path of the line. Instead of being a solid,
fixed-width line, you can change it to be a variable-width line, or one of a near-infinite range of fancy
brush styles, like airbrush, felt tip marker, and many more.
