Photo Example  

Working with Photos and Images

Any graphic will accept a photo:
Any graphic can be used to crop a photo or image.  This is a great way to incorporate photos, clip art, or any other image content in your drawings.


Prep for email
:
Prepare your photos for email by Cropping and exporting in the desired format (JPG, PNG, BMP, etc).  These steps will help you maintain the best quality with the smallest file size for your email photos.

Create a Frame with any pair of graphics:
An inner graphic (any shape or form) provides a clipping path and creates the transparent window to the contents.
The outer graphic (also any shape or form) provides the fill and stroke colors for the familiar frame and matte effect. 

Composite effects work great with photos
:
The photo below uses a Spot Gradient fill over the photo, with a "Plus-Darker" composite logic to add a highlighting special effect to the picture shown at the top of this page.

Drag and Drop
Use the Import menu or just drop a photo (JPEG, TIFF, etc) on any EazyDraw drawing window

Advance Effects
Advance composite effects can be used to enhance the appearance of a photo, or any image.  Check out the image at the bottom of this page for one example.

Crop
Any graphic can be combined with a photo as a cropping path. The crop path can be interactively modified with a simple click and drag of a control handle.


Frame!
Use two graphics to create a Frame.  The inner shape forms the "hole" in outer object.  The photo, image, or any other graphic(s) is clipped by the inner path and framed by the outer path.  Both the clip and frame graphics may be interactively changed by normal click and drag actions: you don't need to undo the frame to modify the components.
