Editing a painted image one pixel at a time

    You can precisely edit an image by working with one pixel at a time.

    To edit an image one pixel at a time:
    1 Double-click the pencil to zoom to 800 percent.
    2 If necessary, scroll to display the area you want to edit.
    3 Add, remove, or change pixels:
    • To add pixels in an area that's currently blank, click or drag with the pencil.
    • To remove a pixel that is a color different from the color in the Fill formatting button, double-click the pixel.
    • To remove a pixel that is the same color as the Fill formatting button, click the pixel.
    • To change a pixel to the color in the Fill formatting button, click the pixel.
    Tip: To remove many pixels at once, use the eraser.
    4 When you've finished editing pixels, double-click the pencil again to return to 100-percent view.

    If you can't select the pencil:
    If you are working in a painting frame, make sure you enter the frame to edit it. If you still can't select the pencil, you probably aren't in a painting frame or document and therefore cannot use this feature. Use the drawing tools instead.
