Mode

Choose a mode for editing your picture:

• Soft Edges  are used when editing photographs, paintings or pictures for PhotoStitch. The Tools give a softer (anti-aliased) edge with gradients and semi-transparencies.

• Hard Edges  are used when editing and cleaning clipart for designing over, such as when using the Express Design Wizard or digitizing in the Create windows. The Tools will give a pixelated edge.

Select a Mode from the pop-up menu before starting work.

Note: Some tools are not available in both modes, for example Expander  cannot be used with Soft Edges , and Blur  cannot be used with Hard Edges .
