Color Palette

Click anywhere on one of the colors bars. Your selection
is shown in the Tool Preview. You can only choose a color
or pattern, not both. Choose colors from the palette with the
Eyedropper too. Use the slider to adjust the transparency.
Patterns
Click a pattern to use it. Click on the Up and Down arrows
to see more patterns. Use the Transparency control to give
your patterns unusual effects.
Tool Preview
This box appears when you choose any tool, except Scissors
or Eraser. It shows the current color, pattern or stamp set and
how solid each is. The clearer the checkerboard shows, the
more see-through your tool will be.
Stamp Palette
Click the Up and Down arrows to see all the stamps you can
use. Use the Transparency slider with stamps to change how
see-through they are. You can even fill your words with stamps.
Picture Controls
The Flip, Rotate, and Scale controls work on your current
selection. Click Flip to turn your selection to the right. Move
the knob around the circle to rotate your selection.
Slide the knob on the scale tool to make your selection
bigger or smaller. If you don't have a special area selected,
these tools work on your whole picture.
