154 ULEAD PHOTOIMPACT USER GUIDE
Using Paint as Object mode
PhotoImpact provides two modes when using the Paint, Clone, and Retouch Tools
(with the exception of the Color Replacement Pen). The default mode is Normal
Mode, which allows you to paint, clone or retouch the base image directly. The
Paint as Object Mode lets you do the same but on an independent layer on top
of the base image. This is convenient if you want to use a particular image as a
basis for artwork, or if you want to apply paint on individual layers, for example.
To use the Paint as Object Mode:
1. Click Paint as Object on the
Attribute Toolbar.
2. Paint, clone, or retouch the image as
desired.
3. When you are done, click Paint as
Object again to deactivate the mode.
The painted, cloned or retouched
area turns into an object.
