Output Type Description and use
Alpha-edged Bitmap Use when cutting out objects with poorly defined
edges. Transparency and pixel blending are used at
the outline edge to produce professional results with
negligible interference from background colors. The
term "alpha" refers to a 32-bit image's alpha
transparency channel.
Vector-cropped
Bitmap
Use on more well-defined edges. A cropped image
with crop outline is created which can be later
manipulated with the crop tools. You can optionally
apply feathering to the image edge but will not
remove background color.
To create an alpha-edged bitmap:
1. Select Alpha-edged Bitmap from the Output Type drop-down menu.
2. (Optional) Drag the Width slider to set the extent to which the "alpha"
blending is applied inside the cutout edge.
3. (Optional) Adjust the Blur slider to smooth out the cutout edge.
To create a vector-cropped bitmap:
1. Select Vector-cropped Bitmap from the Output Type drop-down
menu.
2. (Optional) Drag the Feather slider to apply a soft or blurry edge
inside the cutout edge.
3. (Optional) Drag the Smoothness slider to smooth out the cutout edge.
4. (Optional) The Inflate slider acts as an positive or negative offset
from the cutout edge.
