    Your tutorials are excellent. With selecting a circle, hold down the shift key to resize the circle, then holding down the spacebar at the same time allows you to move the selection around without letting go, so you can keep making minor adjustments to the size and get it in exactly the right position; at least this is how it works on a mac.

    That curve selection function where you convert a selection to a curve and then edit the nodes is amazing. I didn't realise that you could do that. You could also add nodes so that when you move the selection, it's more controllable and not like jelly. Thanks for these tips. Great video.

  • @MarkSmith-kb7br
    @MarkSmith-kb7br 3 года назад

    Hi Olivio, thank you for your tutorials. Regarding the circular marquee tool, it can be resized by 'Select->Grow/Shrink' via the menu, or 'Ctrl+B' from the Windows PC keyboard. A slider appears that permits resizing; negative values are obviously smaller. Select the 'Circular' Radio Button to ensure it remains a circle. Grow/Shrink should permit resizing all marquees. Hope that helps. I'm presently using Version 1.9.1

    Great video. Anyone- when using the pen tool, is there anyway to make the boarders less strong? I've been selecting "smart mode" outlining the area using a lot of small dots, then I hit select and adjust. It works but the boarder is too hard- too clearly defined.
    Thanks.

    What is subtract in the Germanic languages? I have heard a number of people from that region of Europe that seem to all add an additional "S" when they say subtract....as in "sub'-S-tract". Not trying to give Olivio a hard time.....I love his vids and I've learned tons from him. Just saying that it is a common theme among people from that region of Europe....german, belgium, austria.....germanic/danish that all seem to pronounce subtract with the additional "S" in the word. Kind of interest actually.

    • @OlivioSarikas
      @OlivioSarikas  3 года назад +2

      Maybe it's a common mistake because we have several similar words that are "subst" instead of "subt", like Substantive, Substanz, Substitute and such. ;)

    Why Serif have decided to hide these by default is beyond me.

      @@OlivioSarikas Yes, I have been waiting for this for years now. It is an essential feature for visual development but despite numerous threads (mine and others) it goes ignored. As much as I do not like installing the ridiculously oversized and intrusive Abode alternative (it is a horror) this is a deal breaker function. Similar to its channel manipulation. I hoped the last couple of upgrades would see to it - I run to see if its added- true image functions! But no, it’s some lame font manipulation or frames or other sub professional function. AH, a boy can dream. 😃

      @@kojokojo7523 if the image is on an "Image" layer this will happen, such as when you use the command "File | Place" to insert an image. Olivio mentions this right at the start at 0:38 that you will have issues with Image layers, so you need to right click the layer and select Rasterise and convert it to a Pixel layer. Convert the layer and then try selecting the part of the image you want and use the Feather command again. I've played with this and if the Image is on an Image layer it will paste the whole image and not the selection, so you need to convert the layer to a Pixel layer, so it can select pixels and not the whole image. I hope that helps :-)
