You can make modifications or supplementations without damaging the original photo.
It is like working on a transparent film on top of the photo. If you add text or figures directly to a photo, you will need to delete parts of the photo, which can damage the original photo. In this case, you will be unable to recover the original photo later.

Path Tab

You can create and modify a vector type shape in Foxit Studio Photo.

Channel Tab

You can work on each color channel. Each color that composes a photo is called a channel.
