Editing photos and graphics
The Clip properties tool for editing bitmapped images
allows you to perform several important image-
processing tasks:
• Zoom in on your pictures and photos in order to crop
away unneeded material and focus on only the
essential part of the image;
• Rotate the image in 90-degree increments to permit
the use of photos taken in “portrait” mode;
• Remove the “red-eye” effect that can occur when the
subject of a photograph looks directly into the
camera when the flash goes off;
• In Studio Plus, put together “pan-and-zoom”
animations in which a high-resolution image is
viewed as a succession of smoothly-connected close-
ups at various degrees of magnification. This
technique is closely associated with the well-known
documentary filmmaker Ken Burns.
The Clip properties tool for photos has pan-and-
zoom controls for focusing on an area of interest. In
Studio Plus, pan-and-zoom can be animated to
create the effect of traversing the image from one
focus to another. Animated “P&Z” can be obtained
in other versions by upgrading to Studio Plus.
