3. The TRANSFORMATIONS toolbar appears allowing you to modify
(move, resize, rotate, etc.) the image inside its path or mask.
Click if you want to modify the image like a cut-out, i.e. without
being clipped by the path or mask (see page 11-7).
For more details refer to Transformations (page 19-1).
Correcting Background Images by Modifying Path on Image
ORIS PDF Tuner offers a special correction method for background images
inserted into a path. The image is loaded into a window and the
path that clips the image is displayed. Modifications are made by moving,
scaling, rotating etc. this path. The figures below show two examples.
Fig. 11-8
Enlarging Background Image by Modifying Path on Image
The background image is loaded and the clipping rectangle appears
on it. The rectangle indicates exactly the image area that is visible on
the layout. Now the user decreases the size of the rectangle so that it
only encloses the lady’s head and chest only. On the layout, this image
part is enlarged so that it fills the entire path.
Fig. 11-9
Distorting Background Image by Modifying Path on Image
In this example, the rectangle on the image is narrowed. As a result,
the image on the layout is stretched accordingly, which makes the
lady appear rather corpulent.
How to Correct Background Images by Modifying Path on Image
1. Activate the image layer (see page 16-1).
This correction method is only available if the image was not inserted
into a pixel mask or layer and if only a single layer is active.
