You can edit the image using some simple and useful image retouch tools:

• The "Drop tool" (1) fully removes a selected colour from the image. It can be used to make a logo transparent, for example if you have an image with white background that you want to remove. Note that the more you “drag” the colour the more likely that similar colours will be affected as well.
• The "Magic Wand" (2) tool removes the selected colour within an area and can be used to make certain areas transparent while retaining solid colours inside the image. Note that the more you “drag” the colour the more likely that similar colours will be affected as well.
• The "Move/Resize" tool (3) allows the logo to be moved within the selected area. The tool also allows you to zoom in or zoom out the logo if needed.
