Creating Images with Phoenix

Abstract

Phoenix is a full-featured image editor that is similar to many of the desktop image editors you might have seen or used. Many of the tools are located in the same vicinity and act similarly. Aviary is designed this way to make it easy for people who have used other applications to learn Aviary. Phoenix enables you to manipulate images in various ways, build files in layers, and save files to keep objects separated for easy editing. You can adjust the color, brightness, and contrast of images. A versatile selection system enables you to isolate and alter intricate and complex areas of images. With the Clone and Liquefy tools, you can push, pull, and relocate pixels. Phoenix might at first look like a simple image editor, but as you will see in this chapter, it is sophisticated and enables you to create incredible images.
