The Image Processing environment is designed for working with image files. Tools
in the Image Processing environment allow you to alter the images as you like: you can
draw, change colors, move sections of the image, etc... Using common photo
retouching plug-ins you can also blur, soften, and apply deformations to the image.

The image processing environment is the place to prepare an image for use in another
document or for printing. If you are working with a mixture of text, graphics, and
image files, the word processing or graphics environments are best suited for laying out
your document. Use the image processing environment to prepare your images for
placement in these other documents.
The plug-ins distributed with Gobe Productive are mostly self-explanatory. The
best way to work with the plug-ins is to experiment with them and find the plug-in that
best suits your needs. Remember, you can always undo the actions of any image
retouching. Simply press [ALT] [Z] or select Undo from the Edit
menu.
Graphic Types
To import and work with graphic files you must have the appropriate graphics handlers
installed. BeOS includes graphic handlers for the TIFF, Targa, and BMP formats.
JPG, GIF, PIC and other graphic format handlers are also available. Check
with the Be web site at www.be.com for more information on
obtaining graphic handler files. |
