Color Picker and Color Mask Extract Objects You want to combine several different objects and need an extracted image without a distracting background? With the color picker and the color mask this is now possible and easy to do. Simply pick a color in the photo or image and remove it with a click. Color Correction With the new color picker you can select a specific color or a color range and remove it from the entire image. This lets you create artistic color effects for your photos.

Shape Eraser With the help of the new shape tool "shape eraser" you can adjust your graphics and illustrations just the way you want. If you use this tool to "erase" an image into two separate parts, each separate shape can be edited individually. You can also use the shape eraser to make contact with a line form the outside and move it further in. This allows you to create even more detailed shapes than ever before. This tool is also really useful for extracting image elements from photos. IMPROVED! Magic Erase 2.0 (Intelligent Photo Retouching) Magic Erase is a "magical" tool for removing unwanted objects from your photos. In the new Version 2.0 you can get better results than ever before. Simply select the unwanted area and remove it from the picture with a click. The Magic Erase algorithm fills the empty space with the appropriate pixels - it's like the object was never there! You'll get faster and better results than you would with similar tools in other programs, e.g. a clone tool.* No matter what you want to do Magic Erase makes it possible: ● Enhance nature photos ● Remove unwanted areas from you snapshots ● Delete unimportant objects ● Get rid of shadows ● Retouch portraits (e.g. remove skin blemishes or circles under the eyes) View "Before/After" examples * Note: Results will vary depending on the composition of the image. Matching pixels can only be found if they are available. Xara Photo & Graphic Designer2013 More information at www.magix.com 4 More information at www.magix.com NEW!
