Chapter 6: Painting
This chapter describes what you can do with an AppleWorks paint document
or paint frame. All paint features, including procedures, buttons, and
troubleshooting, are described completely in onscreen Help.
When to use a painting
Use a painting when you want to create airbrush or brushstroke effects, to
tint colors, or to transform shapes (for example, to add perspective to an
image), or add special effects (for example, blurring an image). Because
paintings are made of individual pixels (dots) that you can change, you have
very precise control over textures, colors, and shapes.
Use an AppleWorks paint document or frame to:
1
create “hand-painted” artwork for invitations, holiday decorations,
posters, and announcements
1
illustrate reports
1
work with scanned pictures
When you are painting, you use the same tools used to make drawings
(described in “Using the drawing tools” on page 5-3) plus additional painting
tools, such as the spray can.
