Little bits of Advice



Now you can easily draw with PSP because you have
mastered the majority of important commands.

Name your folders as well as the sub folders.

Duplicate an original image to work on it.

Before a job, select the hand tool and set on black and white.

When you open a picture in JPG, convert the background layer to a normal raster layer.

Before making an important merge, back up the image.

Duplicate the image, then merge on the new copy.
For an image in progress, I recommend that you keep the same name on
the new copy, but add a suffix or prefix to that name.
Save your image often while working on it.

Don't hesitate to use the rule and grids.

In the styles and textures palette, it is interesting to save some colors and
custom gradients while giving them meaningful names.

All pictures which are open on the desktop can serve as patterns.

To easily find the nodes on a vector, select the vector layer and select the
desired sub-layer.
Important: you must then select the pen tool to see the active nodes.
If you have several sub-layers in a vector layer, you can easily change their order by
dragging them as is done for a regular layer and you can change their names.
You can close their visibility and/or delete them by right clicking.
The Right-click, also, allows other interesting commands.

We can merge two vector layers. Nodes will remain active on a same layer.
Let us not forget that as long as the nodes are active we have the opportunity to change
the style of line, its color, width and other settings.
We can remove and re-add nodes and play with curves or switch the foreground or background.

As regards the vector: work on pixels close up by using the zoom.
Do not hesitate to do: Edit/Delete.

The next lesson looks at the pure vector.

To do lesson 31, you must be familiar with the previous lessons.
In this vector you must consider color in more shades and shapes!
It is a Cartesian work! 
We promise you the sky!
