Figure 1 Photobie main GUI

Photo Image editing

Photobie is primarily an image editor with a wide range of editing features. You can
crop/copy/paste your images easily; you can adjust your image color easily; you can do all kinds
of paintings and drawing easily.
Crop, Copy, Cut, Paste
Figure 2 crop, copy, cut, paste

In Figure 2, “1” points to the set of region selection tools (we will discuss these tools in detail in
the region section). These region tools allow you drag a region in different shapes as indicated in
“2”. Then you can crop/copy/cut image within this region. “3” is the cropping tool. When you
crop, the partial image within the selected region becomes a new image, while original image is
still there (So you won’t lose your original image accidentally). “4” is a copy tool, it will copy the

partial image within the selected region to the clipboard so that you can paste to another image
within Photobie or into other applications such as MS Word . “5” is a paste tool, it pastes the
image from the clipboard into current opening image as a new layer. “6” is similar to “5” but
generates a brand new image instead.
Copying and Pasting from the Web
“6” is a quick way to open an image on the web:
Figure 3 copy image on web and paste as new image

As shown in Figure 3, you can do following trick: right click on any image you see on the web
and select the “Copy image” and then you do “6” (Paste as a new image) in Photobie, then you
just opened an image from the web within Photobie. Of course you can paste this image to other
current opening image with “5” (Paste as a new layer).


Color Adjustment
Photobie provides various color adjustment tools for basic or advanced users. There is a floating
Layer Manager, which is heavily feature packed. We will discuss it in the advanced layer section.
Within the Layer Manager you can find a color adjustment menu:
Figure 4, color adjustment menu
As shown by “1” in Figure 4, you can adjust the color balance (Figure 5 on page 9) and adjust
RGB channel curves/levels (Figure 6 on page 9).

Figure 5 color balance adjustment
Figure 6 color curve adjustment tool

Figure 7 color replacement tool

Paint Tools
Paint Selection Panel

Photobie includes various painting tools that can be selected from the PaintSelection panel:
Some of these tools support a texture feature. All these textures are stored within the “textures”
folder of Photobie program path.
You can add new textures, remove textures, and refresh textures using the tool set at “11”.
Following are full descriptions of these tools.

1. Draw Shape Tools

Draw shape tools let you draw lines and lined shapes. Select the tool using the drop down menu.
Figure 8 draw shape menu
Here are examples of drawings you can make:
Figure 9 draw shape example

The draw shape tool can apply line style, arrows, patterns, textures and gradients.

Fill Shape Tools

Fill shape tools fill shapes with patterns you select. Use the drop down menu to select the tool.
Figure 10 fill shape tools

Figure 11 shows examples of what you can do with these tools:
Figure 11 fill shape example

Pen
You can set the size of this tool and add special effects like a hollow pen, dot pen and 3D pen.
4. Brush
This tool is one of the most important features of Photobie. It is flexible
and resource friendly.
Figure 12 brush tool

In Figure 12, “0” points to the brush tool, once you click on it, you will see the right panel is
reconfigured. “7” is a list of brushes from a specific brush category. “6” is a preview for the
brush. You can set up the brush color. “1” shows brush size, opacity, blur and speed
adjustments. “2” adjusts the angle of the brush. “4” is how you set brush color mixture,
random rotate/flip/resize. “5” check box can load the brush’s original image so that you can
apply original brush image in whatever color and transparency to current image. The brush
images must be in .png or .gif file formats that support transparency. “5” will be discussed at
the Template and Scrapbooking section.
5. Airbrush
This is a general airbrush tool. You can adjust the size, the pressure and
the sphere.
6. Smudge
Smudge is one of the more interesting tools. It gives a effect of finger
painting, it blending surrounding colors together along the stroke path.
Figure 13 smudge tool example

Figure 13 shows an example of using the smudge tool. You can adjust the size and pressure of
the smudge tool.

7. Bucket fill
This is a very useful tool. This is a combination of two tools. It acts as a
fuzzy selection tool, selecting a closed region with the same color. You can
fill this region with specific colors, textures, patterns or gradient. The
bucket fill tool is most often used for digital coloring book.
8. Touch Up
This a unique coloring tool. This tool is called touch up tool because it will
gradually transform the area it is applied to from the original color to the
paint primary color.

9. Text Tool
The text tool allows you to insert text.
Figure 14 text tool
The “0” in Figure 14points to the text tool. When you click on the image while in text mode, it will
generate a transparent text input box “11”. You can drag the input box to anywhere and type in the text
within “12”. If you want to remember the last text input, simply check the check box at “13”.
You can set up the text font, size, bold, Italian and underline through “1”,”2”,”3” in figure 14. Also, like
the draw/fill shape tools, you can apply texture, pattern and gradient to the text. “5”, “6”, “7”, “8” and
“9” are similar to draw/fill shape tools. “4” is a special feature to turn on shading.

Here are examples generated with the text tool
Figure 15 text examples
9. Eraser
Eraser is a general tool. You can erase more smoothly by turning on the soft
eraser option.
10. Eyedropper
Use this tool to select a color in the image, setting it as the paint primary
color. It is often used to set up the transparent color of certain layer.

Color Palettes
Photobie has a very intuitive color palette tool set consisting of primary/secondary color, hex color
codes, a customized color palette and a color ring.
Figure 16 color tools

In Figure 16, “5” is the Hex color code. You can type the hex color code in directly to change
the primary color. “1” and “2” show the primary color/ secondary color. You can click on “1”
and “2” to set up the primary/secondary color through a color dialog box. “4” is used to switch
the primary and the secondary color, “4” is used to set the secondary color as the active color so
that when you click on the “8” customized palette or “9” color ring the secondary color is
changed instead of the primary color.
You can save a pallet or save the palette as a new palette using “7”. You can load other
customized palettes using “6”. If you want to add the primary color to the current customized
palette, you simply move you cursor and point to a blank or non-blank grid, then press letter “a”
to add it. Press “d” to remove a color from the grid.

Region Management Tools

Photobie has a set of tools to easily select and manage image regions.
The region tool set is pointed to by the red arrow. You can select using rectangle, square, oval,
circle, round rectangle or polygon shapes. You can also select,freehand or use the fuzzy selection
(magic wand) tools.
The fuzzy selection (magic wand) tool works as following. You click on a point with a specific
color, then it will generate a closed region that has the same or similar color as you clicked. You
can adjust the sensitivity of this region selection tool. You can clear or invert a region with “1”
and “2”. You can set the combination mode to Single/Union/Intersect/Exclude/XOR. XOR
selects regions where they do not intersect. You have a temporary region cache “5” for you to
store the region you just selected; you have a permanent region cache “7” for you to store a
selected region or to apply a saved region. Press the ‘+’ button of “6” or “8”, you will add the
current region selection to cache. The ‘-‘ buttons will remove a selected region from the list.
You can apply the cached region to current image by clicking on the button with the check
mark. You can switch region selection s with “9” region cache switching tools.

Layer Management
Photobie efficiently manages layers. The heavy duty Layer Manager, easily provides many kinds of layer
operations.
Figure 17 Layer Manager
Layer List and Layer Property

Features are indicated by the white numbers:
1. This is a layer list. All the layers are numbered starting from 0 for Background. The largest
numbered layer indicates the topmost layer. Each layer has a check box The check box allows
you to select multiple layers for group operation like merging layers or moving layers together.
2. Click on this button to switch the layer list from names to thumbnails, and back again.
3. This will merge (flatten) all layers into a single layer. You can merge and keep or erase the
merged layers.
4. These buttons shuffles the layer up and down.

5. These buttons add a blank layer (+) or remove the current

layer (-). The check mark button lets you finalize the current
layer, allowing you to remove deleted layers from a recycle
list and release cache resources for other layer deletes.
6. When you merge layers or delete layers, they are dumped
into this recycle list. You can restore a selected layer or shred
out all the layer in this trash list.
7. The first button is the layer restore button, the second one is
the layer shred button.
8. Checking this check box means that each painting action will
make a new layer so that you can adjust or finish them
individually. Photobie defaults to having the box checked,
creating a layer with each painting action.
9. This is a preview box for the layer list box “1”
10. Shows the layer property grids. You can adjust a layer's properties directly in these grids.
11. You can rename the layer, and reset the layer blend mode in this category. The blend mode
determines how the current layer gets blended with previous layers. This is a highly advanced
feature that can be used by professionals.
12. You can precisely change the angle and location of the current layer precisely here.
13. The template property group will be discussed in the Template and Scrapbooking section. The
Transparency category will also be discussed later.
14. Photobie supports GIF animation. Each layer is presumably a potential animation frame that has
a presentation delay. For animation, you can set up the delay in milliseconds here
15. Here you can hide, lock and change the opacity of current layer.

Layer Tools
Indicated by the red numbers, the layer tools are:
1.A quick tool to allow you select (check) all layers.
2.The layer merge tool. You have two options when
merging: delete merged layers or keep the merged
layers after the merge.
3.Crop the current layer or all checked layers.
4. Copy the current layer or all checked layers.
Layer copy/paste/clone is different than general
image copy/paste. Layer copy/paste/clone includes
more information than just image information. Layer
cloning will generate a new layer in exactly the same place.
5.You can paste copied layer(s).
6.Photobie layer clone tool has three options:
- Clone the current layer as a one item
- Clone only the part of the current layer bounded by a selected region.
- Clone only the part of the whole image bounded by a selected region.
7.This is the most often used tool in Photobie. You can move/resize the current layer by dragging.
8.You can resize the layer using a specific layer resize control.
9.As discussed before, this is a layer color adjustment tool set. You can do advanced or basic
adjustments.
10.You can rotate the layer to a specific angle.
11.You can flip the layer vertically and horizontally.
12.This will copy part of the current layer image bound by a selected region to the system clipboard.
13.You can cut a selected region from the current layer with this tool, making the current layer
partially transparent.
14.This is a quick tool to set up the primary color as the transparent color of the current layer. This
way you can use the color picker first to pick up the color in the image you want to set as a
transparent color, then click this button to set it as transparent. You will need to adjust the “16”
transparent tolerance to make the transparent color range.
15.You can change the opacity of the layer directly using this. You can also change the opacity
within the layer opacity property grid.
16.As discussed in “14”, it is for transparent color range adjustment.
17.You can hide a layer by checking this check box
18.You can turn a layer into a mask layer, a mask layer works as a general image mask. Depends on
the darkness of the color, it controls how much the underneath layer can show up by the alpha
value.
19.This one and “20” are for quick layer rotation.
20.You can type in the rotation degrees directly and press “Enter” key to confirm.
21.The last one is the button to expand or shrink the layer manager, showing or hiding the layer
property grids control.

Template and Scrapbooking

Photobie enables you to create eye-catching graphics. And you can even turn your design into a
template and let other Photobie users to replace part of the template with their own photo
images. You can modify/enhance existing template with more items. You can set a mask to the
replaceable object in your template so that when user loads a new image the edges are smoothly
masked out.
Figure 18 Template
Creating a Template Layer

In Figure 18 you see an expanded template layer property at “1”. “2” lets you flag an ordinary
layer as a template layer. Once you set “TemplateLayer” to “True”, you will see a new button
show up as pointed to by the red arrow. It indicates that you can replace the current layer image
with other images. You can setup a mask for current layer to make image edges smoother and
more natural. “3” and “4” are the settings for the layer mask.

Image and Mask Replacement, Resize, and Move

Once you click on the “Click to Replace” button, you will be prompted with a template image
replacement panel as follows:
Figure 19 template image replacement

In Figure 19, “2” indicates the template image boundary. You can load a new image using “1”,
the “Load Image” button. Once you selected a new image, it will show within the image
boundary “2”. You can adjust the image size by zooming in/out. You can drag the image to best
place it in the template boundary “2”. You can also load a mask to mask the edge of the bound as
indicated at “8”. In this example, the edge you see is generated by a mask. You can move or
zoom in/out the mask for the best result.

Mask Selection
Figure 20 shows a screen shot of selecting a mask after you click on the “5” “Load Mask”
button.
Figure 20 load a mask

Final Image
And following is a final image after a single template layer replacement.

Designing and Changing Templates

You may use background images, textures, and embellishments when designing or changing
templates. The customized brush tool lets you easily add embellishments to your image
The general brush feature has been covered before. There is an option useful to templates shown
and discussed on the following page.

Embellishment Brush Feature
\
Figure 22 brush feature for adding embellishment
You can grab whatever clip art, Photoshop brushes or other embellishments and create a sub-
folder within the brushes directory of the Photobie program. Photobie will load it as general
brush, that you can apply in various ways:
a) You can reset the color or use original brush image color. In Figure 22, “1” points to the
check box “Original Image”. If it is checked, the original brush image is displayed in the
brush preview box. You also have the option to override the brush color with the primary
paint color.
b) You can adjust the size, blur, opacity, speed, color modes of the brush and randomly
flip/rotate it.
c) You can draw with the brush or you can click it, using it as a stamp.
d) You can switch between different categories of brushes easily.

Screen Capture Tool

Photobie has a set of effective screen capture tools. You can do capture screens in two different ways.
The first method is to use the notification icon on your task bar When Photobie is running, you will see a
Photobie icon on the right bottom of your window as pointed by the arrows in Figure 23.
Figure 23 Screen capture with menu

When you right click on this icon you will see a menu listing screen capture options. You
can capture a rectangle/oval whole screen or even a color of a specific point on the
screen. For example if you select the rectangle, you will have get into a capturing mode.
Now you can drag out a region you want to capture. See below:

Figure 24 screen capture in action

Once you press the “Enter” key, you will capture the selected region into the system clipboard
as well as in Photobie as a new image or a new layer (depending on whether the “capture as new
layer” flag is on or not). If you have Photobie minimized, you can do capture screens without
changing windows. After capture, you can continue work in the current window, if you wish.
Additionally, if you press “+” instead of “Enter”, you can conduct a series of screen shots at
once within a single image. All the captured images will be stored within Photobie in the
background.
There is also another way of capturing screens using hot keys With Photobie you can set up to 8
customized screen capture hot keys Using these hot keys, you can capture the full screen, or an
active window with/without the cursor. You set the output image size. You can also set a fixed
area to capture. The captured image can be exported to other programs. See following screen
shot of the Screen capture configuration panel.

Figure 25 Screen capture hot keys setup

Photobie can capture a vertical scroll window. Simply check the “auto scroll …” check box in
“2” as above. When in a scrollable window such as a web browser, you can press the hot key
you assigned, scroll to the next part, press such hot key and so on. Press “Ctrl+Q” to finish.
Photobie will automatically assemble the series of the active browser window screen shots into
one seamless image.

You can use all of Photobie's rich edit features on captured images. Figure 26 shows the
captured screen with an arrow and question mark added.
Figure 26 Screen shot editing

Animation editing
Photobie easily assembles GIF animation by treating each image layer as a GIF animation frame.
As discussed on page 23, each layer has an animation time delay property used to control the
frame speed. There is also a animation control panel for you to fine tune you animation. See
below:
Figure 27 animation panel

In Figure 27, “1” is an animation preview box, “2” is the animation frame list, “3” is for delay
adjustment, “4” is a tool bar consisting of refresh, animation play/stop and animation save
buttons. You have options to treat each layer of an image as a separate frame or add all the
previous layers to generate a sequence of frames. Checking the “4” “Additive mode” check box
will add the layer into the sequence of animation frames. Photobie's GIF animation is highly
optimized and fully colored.

Photoshop filter plug-in support

Photobie supports thousands of free Photoshop .8bf filter plug-ins You can apply all kinds of
effects to your image. Photobie provides an intuitive plug-in manager to let you manage
downloaded .8bf plug-ins easily. Below is a screen shot of the Photoshop .8bf plug-in menu and
an application of a plug-ins:
Figure 28 Photoshop .8bf filter plug-in in action

Plugin Menu
Figure 29 Photoshop filter plug-in menu

In Figure 29, “1” invokes the Photoshop .8BF plug-in menu. “2” brings up the Plugin Manager
discussed in the following page. You can refresh the plug-in menu entries using the menu items
indicated by “3”. “4” indicates the menu items you use to temporarily load or remove individual
plug-ins
Below “1” is a list of different.8BF filters plug-ins arranged in in groups based on author or
company. Clicking on the plug-in's name invokes its dialog box, letting you to apply the filter to
your image.

Plugin Manager
Figure 30 Plug-in manager

The tabs indicated by “1” show you can set up different categories. Within each category you can
have many different plug-in entries.
Each entry refers to a path of original .8bf file as indicated in “2”. “3” are buttons for you to add
or remove entries. “4” is a list refresh button. “5” are buttons for adding or removing categories.
“6” turns on/off the “pre-load” flag of all entries within a category. “Pre-load” means a plug-in is
shown as a menu entry. All entries are preloaded when Photobie is started. Remember to press
“7” after you made any change.

Photo image browser

Photobie provides a handy image browser that lets you easily work with a large amount of
images. The browser allows you to open up to 8 image directories within tabs. You can switch
between tabs easily and efficiently. You can open the all images or selected images within a
directory. You can rotate/resize any batch of images selected. You can also import them into
main editing window for retouching. Photo image browser also supports the full screen slide
show.
