Using Special Effects

75

 

After you have touched up your photos, you can transform these images using the many tools that Picture It! provides. Some special effects—such as the film grain filter—mimic effects from traditional film photography. Other special effects—like the chrome and glowing edges filters—give you access to the creative possibilities unique to digital imaging.

Creating Cutouts

Compared to working with just one layer, creating cutouts gives you more control and more options for editing images. You can use cutouts to edit with more precision, fixing problems that only exist in part of the photo. Or, use your imagination to make cutouts into funny or fantastic scenes.

You can create cutouts from any part of a larger picture, which enables you to:

■Apply filters or other effects to a limited area of a photo.

■Duplicate part of an image within a photo.

■Combine parts from two or more photos.

Cutting a hole in a photo

You can use the trim tool if you want to remove just a part of a photo—such as cutting a hole. The trim tool is located on the Format menu.

From the original image (upper left), a cutout was made of the front most bottle. In the upper right image, a filter was applied to the background. In the lower left photo, the bottle cutout was copied to make more bottles. In the final photo, the background was replaced altogether, putting the bottle in a totally new setting.
