Chapter 7 • Image Editors
89
In most cases, you will find it easiest to create the Up image first. As a starting point
for creating the Down image, you may want to select the whole Up image, copy it to
the
Clipboard
, switch to the Down image, and paste the image from the
Clipboard
.
At this point, you can use the editor to modify the image you pasted to make it the
Down image. If a simple reversal is all you need, the
Invert Selection
command on
the
Edit
menu will do the trick.
