The Photo Tools 393

Fade: This value determines how colors that fall just outside the color tolerance are
treated. If fade is 0, then colors are either selected or not, depending on whether they fall
inside or outside the tolerance. This can result in ‘hard edges’ since every color is either
fully selected or not at all. So as this value is increased, colors outside the tolerance are
partially selected, proportionally to how far outside the tolerance they are. This gives a
softer color selection.

Easy crop
While in the Enhance tool you can drag on the adjustment handles shown around the
edge of the selected photo to quickly adjust the cropping of the photo without needing to
go into the Clip Tool.

Clip Tool

Alternatively you can enter CLIP TOOL by selecting the Clip icon on the PHOTO TOOL fly-
out bar. This provides a range of additional crop options. You can enter exact pixel
values, and select from various crop aspect ratios

For interactive clipping and some more options regarding aspect ratio, enter the
CLIP TOOL with the CLIP TOOL button.

This alters the InfoBar to look like this:

As you drag over the photo, the clip rectangle is highlighted.

• You can adjust the region by dragging on the corner or side handles
• You can push the region around by just dragging inside the clip region
• Select the CLIP button or just double click inside the clip region to perform the clip
operation.
