Choosing colors
Foreground and background colors
At any given time, PhotoPlus
allows you to work with just
two colors—a foreground
color and a background
color. These are always
visible as two swatches on
the Color tab indicated
opposite (ringed).
The foreground color is set
to green (RGB 63:173:73)
and the background color to
black.
Now, a few things to remember about how these colors are used:
• When you paint with one of the brush tools, add text, or draw a line or
shape, left-dragging (that is, dragging with the left mouse button
down) applies the foreground color. For example, for a company logo:
The additional darker areas of the photo can be added after swapping
foreground and background colors over using the tab's
button.
• When you cut, delete, or erase an area on the Background layer, the
area exposes the background color—as if that color were there
"behind" the portion of the image being removed. (By the way, layers
other than the Background behave differently: on these, a removed
area exposes transparency.)
