Pixel Editor

Using the Pixel Editor:
The Pixel Editor allows you to edit individual pixels in a photo. To use the pixel editor first open a picture in the Viewer window. Then select "Pixel Editor" from the Edit menu. Move the cursor over the picture in the Viewer window. The area around the cursor is enlarged in the Pixel Editor. To lock on a region in the Pixel Editor display region, click on the picture in the Viewer window when the desired region is displayed in the Pixel Editor. To edit the area displayed in the Pixel Editor first choose a color to apply. The rectangle at the bottom, left of the Pixel Editor shows the currently selected color. There are 3 basic ways to select a desired color.
1. Hold down the Option key and click in the Pixel Editor's display area to pick up the clicked on color.
2. Click the color wheel to bring up the color picker.
3. Use the sliders to create the desired color.

TIP: Often the sliders will be most useful in adjusting a color selected using one of the other two color selection methods.

Once you have selected the desired color, click or click and drag in the display area to apply the color. The picture in the Viewer window is updated as you apply colors in the Pixel Editor.

The Undo button allows you to undo pixel editing. To undo successive pixel edits repeatedly click the Undo button.

To edit a different area click in the picture in the Viewer window again. This unlocks the selection display in the Pixel Editor allowing you to scan to a new selection area.

The erasor icon removes all pixel editing you have done on the picture (including editing done in previous selection areas) and reverts the picture to its original state.

NOTE: If you are satisfied with your editing be sure to save the picture to preserve changes.
