This toolbar automatically appears whenever a picture is selected. We can also open this toolbar using View →
        Toolbars → Picture toolbar.

        Some of the most commonly used options in the picture toolbar are:


        •  Filter      : It helps you edit only a part of the picture.

        •  Graphics Mode                  : It affects the display of the graphic from normal colour to grayscale, black and
          white, or a watermark.

          Default:  The graphic is displayed unaltered in colour.
          Grayscale: The graphic is displayed in 256 shades of gray.

          Black/White: The graphic is displayed in black and white.
           Watermark:  The brightness and contrast of the graphic are reduced to the extent that the graphic can be used as a
          watermark (background).

        •  Color   : It adjusts the values of the three RGB colors, the brightness, contrast and the Gamma value.

        •  Transparency              : It helps you adjust the degree of transparency of the picture between 0% (opaque)
          and 100% (fully transparent).

        •  Line    :It defines the outlines of the image border.

        •  Area     : It allows editing of the picture background.

        •  Shadow     :It allows to give shadow effect to the picture.

        •  Crop     : It works like a scissor to cut the unwanted parts of the image without resizing it.
