Creative Transform - Ulead PHOTOIMPACT 11 User Manual

Creative Transform

The Creative Transform effect turns your image into virtual clay, allowing you to
push its pixels around in order to transform the surface. It differs from the
Transform Tool on the Tool Panel in that it doesn't allow you to manipulate the
position of a selection or object, but rather manipulate its 'consistency.
To transform an image:
1. Select Effect: Distort - Creative Transform.
2. Select a template from the Transformation template gallery.
3. Adjust parameters in the Transformation control panel. To apply
transformation effects to the image, click Insert to save the image to the
Storyboard. Click Reset to restore image to its original state between creating
storyboard thumbnails.
Note: Once the image is inserted in the Storyboard, you may use it as a frame for
animation. You can edit the frame sequence by using the Frame controls.
4. Click OK to apply transformation to your image. Click Save to save the
transformation as an *.GIF animation or an *.BMP image sequence file.

Tips:
• You can exclude areas in your image from the transformation effect. The Solid
Colors panel defines regions that would not be included in transforming the
image.
• Change the position of Storyboard thumbnails by dragging them and dropping
them in front of, or after other thumbnails.
