GOO Brush Palette
The first set of rainbow buttons in the upper left corner of the screen
shows or hides the GOO Brush Palette, which contains nine different
distortion brushes.
GOO Effects Palette
The second set of rainbow buttons shows or hides the GOO Effects
Palette, which contains nine different distortion effects.
Control Slider
When the GOO Palette is active, the control shifts the picture between
the current GOO composite and the original image.
Keyframe Palette
When you move your mouse cursor to the bottom of the interface, a
set of keyframe place-holders appears. These place-holders are used to
store animation keyframes for movie, or GOOvie, creation.
A keyframe is a snapshot of your image at different stages. When you
string a number of keyframes together, SuperGOO fills in the gaps
between keyframes to create a smooth animation.
Keyframe Controller
An editing device for the Keyframe Palette, the Keyframe Controller,
floats over the top of the palette, allowing you to easily move and
select your keyframes. Select a keyframe then click on the lower arrow
to delete it, or the upper arrows to load the keyframe to (up arrow) or
from (down arrow) the Image Canvas.

Working in the GOO Room

The GOO Room works like a painting easel. All the brushes and tools
you'll need to play with an image are arranged around a preview of
your picture in the center of the screen. GOOing an image is just a
matter of dragging a brush over the image and seeing what happens.
Different brushes produce very different results, so try experimenting
with a number of them.

Opening or Importing Images

Before you start GOOing you'll need an image. You can either open an
existing image, or import one. You can import images using either a
third-party plug-in or a scanner.
