Applying image effects

With Namo WebEditor’s Image Effects tools, you can modify and apply effects to images in your Web documents in a variety of ways. You can:

  • Crop and resize images
  • Rotate and flip images
  • Adjusting brightness, contrast, and sharpness
  • Add text on an image
  • Draw lines, rectangles, or ovals on an image
  • Draw on an image with a freehand pencil or paintbrush
  • Erase parts of an image with a freehand eraser
  • Add a frame around an image
  • Add a drop-shadow or beveled-edge effect

To apply an image effect, right-click the image, point to Image, and click Image Effects. You can apply more than one modification or effect without closing the dialog box. Effects are cumulative. To undo the last applied effect, click Namo Web Editor button undo Applying image effects (Undo). To reset the image to its original state, click Reset. After applying the desired modifications and effects, click OK.

When you click OK to save your changes, Namo WebEditor will prompt you for the path and file name under which to save the modified image. If you use the original path and file name, the original image file will be permanently replaced. If you do not want the original image file to be replaced, change the path and/or the file name.

For information about a particular modification or effect, see the individual subsections within this section.
