NOob issue with design pro 7

[albert997]

how in the world can i erase part of a photo? new to designer pro 7.
just have not been able to work this out.
finally got the program to launch.

Magic Erase is actually a 'clone' or 'heal' tool. It's not for removing (erasing) backgrounds and such.

So, using the clone tool (confusingly, the 'stamp' icon) draw around the blemish or object you want to remove, then press the 'Magic Erase button on the info bar.

Wow, thanks!

Also note, the Magic Erase button can be pressed more than once if you aren't satisfied with it's first result.

could i also ask how in the world i can make a gif or png partially transparent?

[ShapeShifter]

Select the image, select the transparency tool icon (wine glass) and adjust the level on the info bar via the slider.
Export as true color+alpha
