112 ULEAD PHOTOIMPACT USER GUIDE
Working with selections
When no area has been selected in an image, any command that you apply affects
the entire image. To restrict the command to a certain area of an image, you need
to create a selection area. Click the Selection Tools in the Toolbox, then choose
a type of selection tool to use.
Tips:
• You can start and end your selection outside the image canvas making it easier
to select the corners of your image.
• Press the [Spacebar] to toggle between showing and hiding a selection
marquee.
Pick Tool
The Pick Tool is used mainly to select objects and static selections. With this tool
you can perform the following functions:
• Click an object or static selection to make it active.
• Select multiple objects by dragging the Pick Tool from an empty area across
the edges of a group of objects (or enclose them within the selection area).
• Select a set of objects by pressing
• Merge all the objects together as a single object: first select all the objects,
and then select Object: Merge as Single Object, or right-click any object
in the group then select Merge as Single Object.
With the Pick Tool, you can change the layers of objects by using the four order
arrow buttons on the Attribute Toolbar, as well as change the alignment using
the buttons in Align (or by selecting Object: Align).
Standard Selection Tool - selecting regularly shaped
areas
The Standard Selection Tool lets you select areas of an image based on a preset
size and/or shape, such as a rectangle or circle. You can also use this to convert
selection areas into objects by dragging the selection.
