Step 4 of 4: Refining the object
Remove unwanted areas in the extracted object or recover parts of the original
image to add to the extracted object.
To refine the object:
1. Set the Size, Transparency and
Soft edge of the brush.
2. Remove excess parts of the object
by dragging on areas you want to
remove.
To recover areas from the original
image, click +/- to add or remove.
Tip: You can change the Background
color and set the Background
transparency. If Background
transparency is set to 100, the
original image will show through.
3. After you remove or recover parts
you want from the extracted
object, click OK.
The extracted object in the image
is automatically selected after the
dialog box closes. You can save it
in the UFO file format to retain the
object as needed.
Mask Mode
Masking is a process where changes are applied to a selected area of an image,
while the rest of the image is masked or protected from those changes. Masking
an image provides a flexible, more creative way of making selections, where you
can apply any combination of Text, Path, Paint, and Fill Tools, as well as various
degrees of transparency to unmasked selections to transform them into complex
selections.
