New Update

Corel Photo-Paint is a high-quality image enhancer and image manipulation

program. It is a companion application of CorelDraw X3 graphics suite, designed

specifically for image editing. It includes new Image Adjustment Lab that

enables you to evaluate different color tonal correction settings for enhancing

your photos.



In Photo-Paint there are four mask modes available for selection. 'Normal' mode
selects an area in an image, 'Additive' expands the editable regions by



selecting multiple areas, 'Subtractive' removes areas from a selection, and
'XOR' selects multiple areas.



Here we used Magic wand mask tool as the background color is uniform. When you
click anywhere on the image the tool takes the value of the first pixel and

expands the selected area to include all surrounding pixels of similar value.
