Other Icons on Edit Photo window
Apart from the options that are available under Basic filters, there are few other ‘aids’ on the Event Xpress that help
you as you proceed with designing your Photos. These are discussed below.
Correction Tool
The correction tool appears with all options and can be used to ‘correct’ any error that might happen while using
the filters or add to the effects already created. The brush size and feather tool can be altered by using the respective
slider or by entering the value of your choice in the value box.
! Remember to keep the Ctrl key pressed to activate the correction mode and to keep the Shift key pressed to undo the
change.
Original and Before and After Images
Original Image: In the course of working on your photos, you might decide to retain an original image or make a fresh
set of changes. In such cases, you could load the original image once again by clicking on ‘Load Original’. Once the
‘Load Original’ icon is clicked the software asks for confirmation by displaying a text box. This text box warns that
all changes made on the photo so far will be lost. You could click on ‘Yes’ to proceed. Clicking on ‘No’ will take you
back to your photo with changes.
Before and After Images: After making a change, you could view how the photo looked just before the change was
made by clicking on ‘Before’ and how the photo looks after the change by clicking on ‘After’. This aids in better
decision-making.
Saving the Changes
There is one ‘Save’ icon on the lower right-hand corner of the ‘Edit Photo’ window.
‘Save’ : Clicking on this icon causes the old file to be rewritten and the new copy now exists for your reference.
Advanced Editing
Event Xpress has several types of ‘filters’ that helps in adding special effects to your photos and Designs to make for an
eye-catching end product. Basic Filters and Artistic Filters have been dealt with in detail in previous section. We now
take a look at the advanced editing option in Event Xpress – the Advance Filters.
 On the ‘Edit Photo’ window, click on ‘Advanced Filters’ tab to access the advance filters.
 Click on ‘Import Plugins’ button on the page to import third-party plug-ins from the location in which you have
saved it.
