editable area along parallel lines. When combined with a 
blur effect, you can simulate depth of field, giving focus to 
a particular object while blurring areas outside the planar 
mask. You can modify the effect of the planar mask by 
moving or rotating the lines, and you can also use mask 
modes with the Planar Mask tool.

feathering: With Corel PHOTO-PAINT X7, you can now use 
modifier keys to interactively adjust the transparency and 
feathering of brushstrokes. This lets you apply transparency 
and feathering on the fly, and works with the Eraser, Red-eye 
removal, Clone, Touch-up brush, Paint, Effect, Image Sprayer, 
Undo brush, and Replace color brush tools.

Special effects: Corel PHOTO-PAINT X7 

introduces new camera effects, such as Bokeh blur, 
Colorize, Sepia Toning, and Time Machine to help you 
recreate historic photographic styles and give your 
images unique visual appearances.

With the Bokeh blur effect, you can define an area of 
focus and leave the rest of the image out of focus. You 
can create a duotone image by using the Colorize effect 
to replace all colors in an image with a single hue. The 
Sepia Toning effect simulates a photo taken with sepia 
film, which is similar to grayscale except with brown 
tones. And with the Time Machine, you can choose from 
seven historic photography styles ranging from 1839 to 
the 1960s.
