HOW TO EDIT A PICTURE AND TRIM IT TO YOUR CHOICE

 

FOR SEE-THROUGH PICTURES:

 

 

1.      You must use the lasso first and delete most of the surroundings of the picture that you want.

2.      Next you must magnify it to your choice and then use the eraser and set it to the size you want it and the ghost size that you desire to erase the image.

3.      Trim the picture as you wish and then just use the magic wand in darker areas.

 

FOR NORMAL PICTURES:

 

 

1.      You must use the magic wand in order to delete the major parts of your pictures.

2.      In any case it deletes parts of the picture that you don’t desire you must use the tolerance feature to delete the parts you want.  Remember the higher the tolerance the more it will delete, the lower the tolerance the more precise it will delete.

3.      In any case if the wand deletes some of the picture there is always the lasso to trim it easier and then just use the eraser to finish your art piece.
