The points that appear on the four corners of an image when you edit it let you warp the image. The Reset Warp button on the Image toolbar lets you restore an image to its unwarped condition.

To warp an image

1. Click the image to select it.
2. Click Edit  on the Insert toolbar. The edit options menu appears.
3. Click Edit Image. The Image toolbar appears. Edit points appear at the corners of the image.
4. Click an edit point and drag it to warp the connected edges.
5. Repeat step 4 to warp other edges.
6. Click the Finished button when you finish editing.

Note
It is possible to warp an image so drastically that it cannot be redrawn properly. For example, warping edges so they cross each other can prevent the image from being redrawn properly.

Tips

• To switch directly to the Edit Image mode, just double-click the image.
• To clear a warp effect, click Reset Warp  on the Image toolbar.

The Image Smoothness control on the Image toolbar lets you specify whether color transitions between adjacent colors are normal or smoothed. Smoothing color transitions averages adjacent colors so that the border between the colors is less sharp. Smoothing can make low-resolution or stretched images look more natural.
