14 Tools

Many of the tools in the Phase One application act in much the same way as the tools of popular image editing applications such as Adobe Photoshop. Many of these tools actually come from the traditional world; the cropping tool is the first example of this, mimicking the cropping “L’s” used by artists and photographers.

Where tool preferences can be set, right-clicking on the tool icon gives access to the preferences dialog box.

Eyedropper

The Eyedropper tool is used to read the RGB values of a particular area of an image. The area measures 3x3 pixels.

Zoom Tool

Select the Zoom tool and click on the preview image to zoom in. Use option-click (Alt key) to zoom out. Remember, the preview image is only a low resolution image and will quickly pixelate when enlarged. Click the black arrow to the right. A zoom slider appears, which allows you to zoom in and out.

Cropping

Select the Crop Tool, located above the Preview Window. Move the on-screen pointer to the image in the Preview Window. Click and drag the mouse so that a box is drawn surrounding the area of the image to be selected. Then release the mouse button.

The rectangular box, which now surrounds part of the image, can be adjusted in size and position. There are points at the corners of this box, that can be clicked and draged, to change size and position.
