Working with Pictures 177
For Show tinted, a red tint indicates areas to be
discarded; a green tint shows areas to be kept.
For Show transparent mode, a different Background
colour can be set (at the bottom of the Studio) while
Show Transparent is enabled; this may help give
better contrast at cut edges while fine tuning.
To select image areas for keeping/discarding:
1. In Image Cutout Studio, click either
Keep brush or
Discard brush from the left of the Studio workspace.
2. (Optional) Pick a Brush size suitable for the area to be worked on.
3. (Optional) Set a Grow tolerance value to automatically expand the
selected area under the cursor (by detecting colours similar to those
within the current selection). The greater the value the more the
selected area will grow.
4. Using the circular cursor, click and drag across the area to be retained.
It's OK to repeatedly click and drag until your selection area is made—
you can't lose your selection unless you click the Reset button. The
Undo button reverts to the last made selection.
5. If you're outputting an alpha-edged bitmap, you can refine the area to
be kept/discarded within Image Cutout Studio (only after previewing)
with Erase and Restore touch-up tools. Vector-cropped images can be
cropped using standard DrawPlus crop tools outside of the Studio.
Make your outline edge as exact as possible by using brush and
touch-up tools before committing your work.
6. Click to create your cutout, or to abort the
operation.
