Drawing and Painting

FotoFinish offers you a wide array of painting and drawing tools. Painting changes the colors of individual pixels.  Drawing creates a shape such as a line, a square, or an oval. When you paint, you are creating a bitmap image. Drawing creates a vector image. (For a discussion on vector and bitmap images, see Understanding Digital Images Chapter.)

FotoFinish combines bitmap and vector drawing tools to help you create a variety of sophisticated graphic effects.
