In Microsoft PhotoDraw, you often combine two or more design objects when you design a picture. As you create your picture, you can use different techniques to make objects look like they belong together.
Resize objects PhotoDraw inserts different objects at different sizes. For example, a photo of a car may appear twice as large as a photo of a house. To make your picture more realistic, you can resize the objects in the workspace. Resize an object by dragging its resize handles
Blend edges When composing pictures, you can create a cutout that you copy into a background picture. If the cutout stands out too sharply against the new background, you can soften the cutout's edges. Soften the edges of an object
Flip or rotate objects If an object faces the wrong way in your picture, you can flip it. If the object is upside down, or if you just want to reposition it in the workspace, you can rotate it. For example, you can rotate copies of a flower object to create a bouquet of flowers. Ways to rotate, flip, or skew an object
Make objects more or less transparent You can use transparency to create specific effects. For example, if you want an object to look like it's reflected in water, you can make the object partially transparent so that the water underneath shows through. Apply a transparency effect to an object
Match brightness, contrast, and color You may need to make color adjustments when you work with photos from various sources. For example, if you combine two photos taken under different lighting conditions, the photos may look unnatural when you view them side-by-side in the same picture. Ways to adjust and enhance color
Blur or sharpen an object If the object you add to a picture appears out-of-focus, you can sharpen its detail to match other objects. Similarly, you can blur an object that is overly sharp. You might also blur an object to create a sense of distance or movement. Blur or sharpen an object
