There are dozens of objects at your fingertips when using the Jungle Photo Editor. In today’s blog post, we will dive into the exciting world of the object menu. We can go into the object menu by clicking on the grid-shaped box at the bottom right of the screen. 

The first tab of the object menu contains different types of animals at your disposal. The Pro version users will have access to more objects. You can unlock the Pro version of the app for a single cheap price. These objects are scalable vectors, this means they will not get pixelated no matter how much you enlarge them. 

The second tab has different types of plants that you can place in your projects. There is a wide variety of plants like trees, shrubs, bushes, mushrooms, and even cute little lily pads.  

The water section is a little diverse section than the previous two. This tab contains objects related to water bodies. So things like waterfalls and water animals like fishes and jellyfishes. 

​ The last tab has a unique selection of objects connected to the sky. It has a few selections for different types of clouds. There is also a collection of star clusters and celestial bodies. These work best when blended with the sky. This way they can properly blend into the sky. 

This completes our brief showcase for the Objects Menu in the Urban Jungle Photo Editor.

Mask mode in the Urban Jungle Photo Editor gives you full control of layer customizability. Check last week’s blogpost for part one of this series.
​
Part one covered the essentials about Mask Mode, this blog post will be looking into the finer options that will help us fine-tune our tools. 

​The opacity slider allows us to set the opacity of the brush. When we use the erase or restore tools by dragging out fingers across the layer, a colored brush trail shows up. Red for erasing brush and blue for restore brush.

The softness options allow us to set how hard or soft the edges of the brush. A hard brush will have clear and very well-defined edges. A soft brush on the other hand will little less defined edges. You can move the slider to the right to make it more soft and vice versa.

This simply changes the size of the brush size. The brush gets bigger as you slide it more towards the right. 

The reset option will revert all brush changes to default. It can be helpful to quickly make new brush settings or to just you the default ones. This wraps up our tutorial for using Mask mode in the Urban Jungle Photo Editor

In this week's blog post, we will be looking at Mask Modes in the Urban Jungle Photo Editor. Masks allow us to make specific selections on individual layers. Masks can be used to hide or reveal certain areas on a particular layer.
​
First set up the layer you want to work within the Mask mode. Let us place a giraffe on this beach as our starting layer. 

After placing the layers we want to work with, click on the Mask Mode icon at the top of the screen to open the Mask mode menu. 

The first mask mode tool is the Erase tool. Click on the eraser icon at the bottom left to select the erase tool. After the selection has been made, just touch and swipe areas on the regions of the layer you want to erase. 

The eraser works like a brush and erases just parts of the selected layer that are in the path of your finger. You don’t have to worry about the erase tool affecting other layers. It will only affect the selected layer. 

As the name suggests, the Restore will reverse any changes made to the selected layer. Simply select the restore tool and in a similar fashion to the eraser just drag your finger across the regions of the layer you want to restore. 

There is another way to revert changes, it is by the undo options at the top of the screen. The left icon allows you to go back one change meanwhile, the right icon will take forward one change. This way you don’t have to start from scratch if you make a mistake.

In this week’s blog post, we will continue learning about the blending tools in Urban Jungle Photo Editor. Some of the previous options in the layer blend menu have already been covered in a previous blog post, you can scroll down from this blog post to start at the beginning. The previous blog post also covers how to get to the blending menu via the layer from your project screen.
In a nutshell, blend options allow us to change the relationship between two layers on top of each other. We can use this customisability to create unique effects.
For this week’s demonstration, let’s go with something magical; a jellyfish rising from the sea.

​The overlay blend option mixes the functionality of both the Screen and Multiply blend options. The portions of the top layer where the base layer is light become lighter, the portions where the base layer is dark become darker. Places, where the top layer is mid-grey, will remain unaffected. 

The ColorBurn is a very aggressive name for a blend option but is aptly named for its functionality. It has an aggressive effect on the layer relationship. The colorburn option gives a very dark result, this is done by increasing the contrast between the base and the blend. The colors of the top layer consequently are highly saturated in the mid-tones. 

​ColorDoge blend option brightened this jellyfish up, this is because of the light tones of the cloud and sky behind it. ColorDoge blend mode divides the bottom layer by inverting the top layer. This will lighten the bottom layer depending on the value of the top layer. If the top layer is brighter than the bottom one, the top layer color will have a more significant effect on the bottom layer.

The difference blend option has made our jellyfish dark, let us look into why that is the case. The difference blend option works by subtracting the bottom layer from the top layer or vice versa, to always get a non-negative value. So when you subtract two pixels with the same value, the result is zero i.e. Black. That means the black areas on our jellyfish had the same color value as the background layer. Commonly professional editors use this blend option to align pictures that have similar content.
