Image-editing overview

When you save a scanned image, the application stores it as an image document. The image within the document is made up of pixels—the dots that form any image on the computer screen. When you use the tools, brushes, and color palette, you change the arrangement or appearance of the pixels.

Tool palette

Use the tools in the tool palette to select portions of the image, add text or color, erase portions of the image, and do other tasks.

Note: To open the Macintosh Color Picker, click the foreground color (or Option-click the background color). You can use the Color Picker to design the colors you want.

Brush palette

Use the brushes to set the shape for the painting tools. The brush shape you choose affects the selected tool (spray can, paintbrush, clone, and smudge).
