Thread: Masking with Corel Photo-Paint

Masking is a vital task when compositing an image. Designers usually spend a lot of time selecting an object and pasting it on another image. We tell you how to do this using Corel Photo- Paint.

Corel Photo-Paint is a high-quality image enhancer and image manipulation program. It is a companion application of CorelDraw X3 graphics suite, designed specifically for image editing. It includes new Image Adjustment Lab that enables you to evaluate different color tonal correction settings for enhancing your photos.

In Photo-Paint there are four mask modes available for selection. 'Normal' mode selects an area in an image, 'Additive' expands the editable regions by selecting multiple areas, 'Subtractive' removes areas from a selection, and 'XOR' selects multiple areas.



Here we used Magic wand mask tool as the background color is uniform. When you click anywhere on the image the tool takes the value of the first pixel and expands the selected area to include all surrounding pixels of similar value.
