Operation Manual

6 Welcome
including Red Eye Tool, Auto Levels, Auto Contrast,
Brightness/Contrast, and many more. Apply adjustments singularly or
in combination. Use PhotoLab for studio-based adjustments, effects,
retouching, and masking.
• Object Default control
Set your intended object’s default line colour/style, fill, and
transparency before even drawing your object! As a more powerful
default control, Synchronize Defaults lets you adopt a currently
selected object’s attributes for future objects. for example, select a red
brush stroke to subsequently paint in red, then a green brush stroke to
paint in green. All or selected attributes can be affected. Global and
object-specific defaults can be reset independently.
• Resource Management
Swap out your already placed bitmaps or text fragments in Drawing
mode or any Animation mode from the new Media tab; a Keyframe
animation’s movie or audio clip can also be replaced.
Colour and Transparency
• Design Power with Colour Gradient Fills
The Gradient Fill Editor allows you to adjust gradient contour and tint
any portion of the colour spread, locate key colours precisely... and
select from RGB, HSL, CMYK, PANTONE® or Registration colours via
a Colour Selector.
• Advanced Fill Support
Simply apply solid colours from the Studio’s Colour tab or Swatch tab
onto a fill path to add or replace colours for more subtle gradients.
Choose colours from different colour mixing modes in the Colour
tab—HSL Wheel (and other models) offer different ways to mix
colour. Load RGB, CMYK and coordinated "themed" palettes from
within the Swatch tab. Apply high-end linear, radial, conical, ellipse,
three colour, four colour, square, and plasma fills to any text or shape
for exciting, professional results. Use bitmap fills for textures and
backgrounds. Add, view, edit, or delete colours used in your current
drawing from within a saveable Document Palette. Even import your
own bitmaps and use them as fills on DrawPlus objects! Plus Mesh
Fills for impressively varied gradients using a path-node network.
