Introduction
MAGIX Photo Designer 7 is an image editing application, which helps you handle all necessary photo editing tasks quickly and easily. Import all common file formats or scan directly. The integrated browser enables convenient searching for image files on your PC. Images can be discreetly improved, retouched, distorted or transformed into an oilpainting. The Task Assistant helps you with practical step-by-step user guidance. Specific image sections, such as people, can be removed from the image for moving or editing with effects. If you want to add them to the image again, they can be semi-transparent, from covering to invisible. You can assign various modes for combining these objects with the main image. All effects/filters can beapplied either to the main image or the object or even selectively with the aid of a brush. At the end, the images can be printed flexibly or saved optimized and Internet-ready.
