NOTE
When you enhance an image, change its size, or convert it to another file type, PhotoPlus shows your changes in the Image Information box. The histogram reflects changes in brightness and contrast, hue and saturation, tone, and sharpening or blurring.
Hiding the Tools Bar and Status Bar
To create more space for displaying images on your PhotoPlus screen, you can hide the Tools bar or Status bar. Follow these steps:
1From the View menu, choose Show Tools Bar or Show Status Bar. The checkmark disappears from the menu.
2To bring back the original PhotoPlus screen, choose Show Tools Bar or Show Status Bar again. The checkmark reappears.
Selecting Part of Your Image
Selecting or masking a portion of your image allows you to make changes that affect only that portion. The rest of the image isn’t affected.
When using a selection mask, you can choose the Discard command on the Edit menu to cancel all changes made to the selected area. This lets you experiment freely, knowing you can undo a series of changes quickly and easily.
Follow these steps to select part of your image:
1Click the Select tool. 
2Click and drag (move the mouse while holding down the button) to select the part of the image you want.
