Image-editing overview
When you save a scanned image, the application stores it as an image
document. The image within the document is made up of pixels—the dots
that form any image on the computer screen. When you use the tools,
brushes, and color palette, you change the arrangement or appearance of
the pixels.
Tool palette
Use the tools in the tool palette to select portions of the image, add text or
color, erase portions of the image, and do other tasks.
Brush palette
Use the brushes to set the shape for the painting tools. The brush shape you
choose affects the selected tool (spray can, paintbrush, clone, and smudge).
