In this tutorial
we will learn to add masks to our mask library.
For this tutorial,
you will need to download this set of six masks in jpg format.
|
 |
To turn these masks
in jpg format to masks we can use, we will need to first open the jpg in
Photo Impact.
So click on the opening
folder icon and browse to the folder in which you saved the jpgs after
unzipping them. |
 |
For this, we'll use the one shaped roughly
like a peanut. I've called it peanut.gif.
We'll store the image as a mask in our easy
pallette so we can use it for other projects later.
|
 |
If the mask is not a jpg, but a gif,
click the number 16 all the way at the bottom in the right hand corner.
There are 4 icons down there.
a mask, a ruler, color information, and
system information. If the mask is a jpg, you will instead see a color
bar of blue yellow and red. Whichever format it is in, it will need to
be converted to greyscale in order for Pi to use it.
|
 |
A list will pop up. Click grayscale
(8 bit). |
 |
Right click on the mask. Click on
All |
 |
Right click again. click on convert
to object.
|
 |
Open your easy palette
if it is not already open. |
 |
In your easy palette, open the mask library. |
 |
If your title bar
has (read only) at the end, right click on the words mask library in the
tree view.
Unclick
read only.
|
 |
Right click
on one of the thumbnails, (small pictures of the masks) and click on store
image as selection.
|
 |
Drag the mask which you converted to an
object on top of one of the thumbnails in the easy palette. Be sure to
drag the image, not the window. A window will open, allowing you to name
your mask. Congratulations! You're done! |
