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 drop-down menu before starting work.
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 
.
