Chapter 5: Edit mode

Detail

Add (Special Effects)

3. Use the tool to edit the image.

Use any of these special selections options:

Show/Hide

Selection

Click to show or hide the marching ants around the selection. Hiding the selection line makes it easier

to judge the effect of various effects.

Use Selection Click to use the selection or apply the edit or effect to the whole image. This control means you can edit

just the selection, then deselect Use Selection and apply another edit to the whole image without

clearing the selection.

Invert Selection Click to invert the selection.

Modify Selection Click to return to Selections to modify your selection on the image. When you make a new selection and

click Done, you return back to the editing tool you were using previously.

Feathering Drag to increase or decrease the blurring between the edge of the selection and the edit or effect.

Feathering prevents an unnatural or sharp transition between the selection and the rest of the image

as it blends the edges. This control also makes it unnecessary for your selection to be perfectly on the

edge of the area you want to select.

Repair tools

Reducing red eye

You can use the Red Eye Reduction tool in Edit to correct red eye in digital photographs. It is possible to change the fill color if you

need to restore the iris of the eye, or an area of skin around the eye, rather than the pupil.

It is also possible to vary the intensity of the fill each time you click or drag, which gives you precise control and allows incremental

changes. Sometimes it works best to have a low intensity and use repeated fine adjustments to get the best results.

To correct red eye:

1. In Edit mode, in the Repair group, click Red Eye Reduction.

2. Use the Zoom tools in the bottom right corner to enlarge and center the eye you want to correct.

3. In the Fill color drop-down list, select the right color to cover the area of the eye.

4. Click within the red portion of the eye or drag across the eye. You might have to click more than once in the red area, or

drag over it repeatedly to remove all the red.

5. You can also select Custom and enter the color values to get precisely the color you need.

6. To set the intensity of the fill color each time you click or drag, move the Reduction intensity slider to the right (more

color) or left (less color).

7. Click Done to apply your changes and close the tool.

Click Reset to clear your changes and reset to default settings. If you saved your changes, you cannot reset your settings.

Scroll with your mouse to adjust the size of the nib width at anytime.
