Pixelmator How To
Tool Shortcut Description Move V Used to move layers or selections. Magic Wand W Use to select similarly colored areas. Polygonal Lasso N/A Used to make straight-edged selections. Pen N/A Used to draw lines with precision. Brush B Used to paint brush strokes. Ellipse Shape N/A Used to draw ellipses. Repair R Used to remove objects from an image.
Type T Used to add text on an image. Crop C Used to trim images. Removing interfaces Screenshots occasionally have interface elements that cannot be avoided or disabled, such as health bars and hitsplats during combat, or the 'Press Esc to skip' text during cutscenes. The Brush tool can be used to paint over interfaces when they are on solid or mostly-solid backgrounds.
However, if the background is too complex to manually recreate, the Repair tool can be used to fill in an area by having Pixelmator generate what would be 'underneath' your selection. As an example, our unaltered image of the Hefin Agility Course (available in the file history at ) has icons of elven clans from the Voice of Seren in the top left – we're going to remove them.
Colour over the icons, holding the mouse down the entire time. Main article: Images of non-character players and monsters require transparency, in accordance with our. As character models in RuneScape are mostly made of polygons with straight edges, the Polygonal Lasso tool is the best choice in this situation.
The original upload of the Azure Parrot (in the file history at ) needs its background removed. Trace around the NPC model, clicking every time the edge changes direction. If you make a mistake, you can click on the last point you placed to remove it and select another spot. Creating maps Maps are an important part of the RuneScape Wiki, and accordingly have very specific guidelines found. There are too many to list, but the basic components of a map are text labels and dots indicating monster/resource locations.
You can create dots with the Ellipse Shape tool by holding down Shift then clicking and dragging, which forces a perfect circle. The shape tools are superior to dots drawn with a brush, as the fill, border, and shadow can be changed at any time in the Styles pane (below right). Labels can be made with the Type tool, where typeface, colour, weight, alignment, and letter-spacing can be adjusted.
