• Cropping
Any object can serve as a "cookie cutter" for trimming one or more
other objects into a single shape... and the effect is reversible so you
won’t lose your originals. Great for creating “reflections” of complex
scenes!
• Vector editing tools
Tools such as Knife Tool cuts through objects, leaving them in
multiple parts, still as vectors. The Erase Tool removes areas under a
brush line of variable nib width to redefine object boundaries! The
opposite of the Erase Tool, the Freeform Paint Tool "adds to" current
vector objects (shapes, text, bitmaps).
• Comprehensive Design Gallery
The Gallery tab provides an impressive selection of instantly available
Arts & Crafts, Cartoons, ShapeArt, Connecting Symbols (family trees,
electronics, computers), and Layout Symbols (garden and interior
design), and many more. Use the Gallery to additionally store and
organize your own favourite designs for future use!
• Picture Import and Adjustments
Import pictures from hard disk, CD/DVD, PhotoCD, digital camera or
scanner. Use image adjustments for quick fixes (or special effects)
including Red Eye Tool, Auto Levels, Auto Contrast,
Brightness/Contrast, and many more. Apply adjustments singularly or
in combination.
