Adding to or subtracting from a selection
You can select multiple parts of an image at one time. In the same way, you can
also exclude portions of existing selection areas. Follow these procedures:
• To add an area, select from the Mode options on the Attribute Toolbar and
click [+], or press
changes to display a plus sign).
• To exclude an area click [-], or press
(the pointer changes to display a minus sign).

selection.
Expanding a selection area
If your initial selection is not big enough to include all parts of the image that you
want, you have different ways of enlarging it:
• Click Selection: Similar (or right-click and select Similar). Based on the
existing selection area, it expands the selection to include similar pixels from
the entire image or from neighboring areas.
• Click Selection: Expand/Shrink (or right-click and select Expand/
Shrink). All sides are expanded by equal values.
Selecting on objects
PhotoImpact lets you create new selections on objects. You can create a new
selection on an object or a group of objects. This is useful when there are several
objects in your image and you only need to select on one particular object.
