If you are preparing a document for print, keep your margins and bleeds in mind from the beginning. Hopefully, these tips will help you make the best of your day-to-day use of InDesign.
#Snagit 12 cover white text on black background manual
This is not intended to be a manual some good ones are already out there (although I personally learned by doing). Here are some tips I wish I had known when starting out, as well as some answers to questions that others often ask me. Yet I remember how counter-intuitive some things were when I was learning it for the first time. For multi-page documents, it’s the most flexible and complete application out there.

With the combination of these techniques, you can remove the background from your image fairly quickly, and get a nice result as well. This can give you an opportunity to further improve those edges by using a soft brush to delete out the worst, most jaggy parts of them.

And when using those tools, you can almost be certain to have to use the eraser or paint brush to clean up ugly mess like this from your edges. While many will defend the Pen Tool (to the death, even) as the perfect way to remove objects, the fact remains that a combination of the Wand, Bucket Fill, or Magic Eraser are the most user friendly way to remove a background. Simply click and drag to smudge and paint a fuzzy edge, recreating the softness of the butterfly, without all the ugly white pixels. Save yourself the frustration and make sure you do this! You won’t be able to smudge the edges this way unless the Layer Mask has been applied. The mask has been “Applied” so that the layer is rendered this way, so that we can make changes to the edges. Here’s the butterfly isolated into its own layer. You may need significantly less than 100% if you’re using the mouse–if you’re using a pressure sensitive tablet, you’ll be able to control the strength much more accurately, and will likely want a high setting. There are a lot of settings, and you may have to experiment with the ones that suit you best, but the most important is the “Strength” of the Smudge Tool. Click and hold down the Blur Tool until you can switch to the Smudge Tool. You’ll want to find the smudge tool buried in your toolbox. There is a handy trick to take a rough selection like this one and turn it into a convincing fuzzy-edged object. Some objects, like this butterfly, have soft edges, and are notoriously hard to cut out.

One of the flagship features of Photoshop CS5 is the tools for refining masks with “Smart Radiuses,” to help mask objects accurately and quickly.

Removing Fuzzy Objects From The Background Simply using the right settings will help you isolate your objects better, if not perfectly. The difference is pretty obvious the left image uses a Tolerance of 5 and no anti-aliasing, while the right uses a tolerance of 40 with anti-aliasing. Lower numbers are very precise, while higher numbers will fill, select, or delete colors that are less similar to the color you clicked on. These three tools all work by filling or selecting colors approximately like the ones you click on, and this adjusts the precision of that fill. Tolerance adjusts how sensitive the fills are. In this case, using it with the paint bucket, wand, or magic eraser will give you a smoother edge in most circumstances. As we learned last month, Anti-aliasing is the naturalistic softening of images.
