3.7.2 Fitting the Selection to the Area’s Edges
The area to be replaced usually has at least one irregular border (such as the mountains in this sample
photograph)� It’s dicult to draw irregular borders exactly, and you don’t have to� You can draw approximate
borders, and Photomatix will t them for you by "nding the edges"�
Finding the edges
The borders of the area you want to replace are almost
always at edges — large changes in brightness between
adjacent pixels� In the sample photo, the transition between
the light sky and the darker mountains is an edge�
Selecting the Attach to Edges checkbox causes Photomatix to search for an edge near the selection path you
drew� The selection path is then redrawn along the edge — in this case, the mountains�
Polygonal selection after clicking "Attach to Edges"
Attach to Edges checkbox
The Contrast setting (Low, Medium, High) determines whether a dierence in brightness is large enough to
be detected as an edge� The higher the setting, the greater the brightness dierence has to be�
The Width box (next to the Attach to Edges box) sets the maximum distance Photomatix searches (in pixels)
from the original selection path� If Photomatix nds an edge within the Width setting, the selection is
redrawn to t the edge� If Photomatix nds a border of the image, the selection is redrawn along the border�
Changing the Width or Contrast setting immediately redraws the selection path to reect the new value�
To undo the edge t, clear the Attach to Edges checkbox�
