such as a person in the photo. The versatile
Object Removal brush lets you choose to paint
either the area of the photo that you want to
preserve or the area that you want to remove.
You can also use the Smart Carver to change a
photo’s aspect ratio without distorting anything
in the photo. For example, if you want to resize a
photo to print at a certain size, you can paint the
photo’s subjects and then use the Smart Carving
presets to contract or expand the photo’s
background vertically and horizontally.
The new Smart Carver makes it easy to remove
unwanted areas and adjust the photo’s aspect ratio.
New!
Shape tools:
CorelDRAW X6 introduces
four additional shaping tools that provide new
creative options for refining your vector objects.
The new
Smear
tool lets you shape an object by
pulling extensions or making indents along its
outline. The size of the brush nib and the Pressure
setting let you control the intensity of the effect,
and you can choose between smooth curves or
curves with sharp corners. Alternatively, you can
use the pressure of your digital pen to determine
the intensity of the smear effect.
The new
Twirl
tool lets you apply twirl effects to
objects. The size of the brush nib lets you
determine the size of the twirls, and the Rate
setting lets you control the speed of the effect.
You can also choose either a counterclockwise or
a clockwise twirl.
In addition, you can use the new
Attract
and
Repel
tools to shape curves by attracting nodes
or by pushing nodes away from other nodes in
close proximity. To control the shaping effect, you
can vary the size of the brush nib and the speed
at which the nodes are attracted or repelled.
The new shaping tools provide creative options for
refining vector objects; for example, smearing an
object (top left), adding a twirl effect (top right), using
the Attract tool (bottom right), and using the Repel
tool (bottom left).
