3-6 Editing: Transforming Your Images
NOTE
When you enhance an image, change its size, or convert it to
another file type, PhotoPlus shows your changes in the Image
Information box. The histogram reflects changes in brightness
and contrast, hue and saturation, tone, and sharpening or
blurring.

to make changes that affect only that portion. The rest
of the image isn’t affected.

changes made to the selected area. This lets you
experiment freely, knowing you can undo a series of
changes quickly and easily.

1 Click the Select tool.
2 Click and drag (move the mouse while holding
down the button) to select the part of the image you
want.
