Photo Effects
Photo Effects can be applied using the
Effects bar in the Image Editor. The effects bar is only
available in the Professional version of The Print Shop 4.0.
The Magic Wand feature allows you to
select specific areas within a photo in order to edit them
separately from the rest of the image- giving you greater control
of the editing process.
