Changing output settings

You can set the level of transparency and pixel blending at the

cutout edge by adjusting the output settings, Width and Blur.

Control of the cutout edge lets you blend your cutout into new

backgrounds more realistically.

To change output settings:

1. Drag the Width slider to set the extent (in pixels) to which "alpha" blending

is applied inside the cutout edge. This creates an offset region within which

blending occurs.

2. Adjust the Blur slider to apply a level of smoothing to the region created by

the above Width setting.

You'll need to click Preview in order to check output setting

adjustments each time.

Selecting areas to keep or discard

A pair of brushes for keeping and discarding is used to "paint" areas on your

active layer. The tools are called Keep Brush and Discard Brush, and are either

used independently or, more typically, in combination with each other. When

using either tool, the brush paints an area contained by an outline which is

considered to be retained or discarded (depending on brush type). A

configurable number of pixels adjacent to the outline area are blended.

To aid the selection operation, several display modes are available

to show selection.

Show Original, Show Tinted, and Show Transparent buttons

respectively display the image with:

For Show Tinted, a red tint indicates areas to be discarded; a green

tint shows areas to be kept.
