Once you have finished drawing your shape you will automatically be taken into edit mode.Ĭtrl+click on the shape icon to continuously draw multiple shapes of the same type – each time a shape is completed, you will re-enter creation mode for a new instance of that shape. This will take you into the creation mode for that shape. 🔗creating shapesĬhoose a shape by clicking on the appropriate shape icon (from left to right: circle, ellipse, path, brush, gradient). You can also create and edit shapes using the mask manager module.

The controls required to create and alter drawn masks may be enabled by selecting either the “drawn mask” or “drawn & parametric mask” icon at the bottom of a module. This means that a shape will always work on the same image area regardless of any modifications that may be subsequently applied. Shapes are expressed in the coordinate system of the original image and are transformed along with the rest of the image by any active distorting modules in the pipe ( lens correction, rotate and perspective for example). Shapes are stored internally as vectors and are rendered with the required resolution during pixelpipe processing.

Once a shape has been drawn on an image it can be adjusted, removed, or reused in other modules. Shapes can be used alone or in combination. With the drawn mask feature you can construct a mask by drawing shapes directly onto the image canvas.
