stylus and a control button to
select
Adjust
colors on
Picture
(or type A
on your
keyboard).
This

When making corrections, additions, or erasing,
it's
important remember that
you're
replacing pixels
rather
than erasing them. To
"erase" a pixel, use
the
Color
Menu
to select
the color of your
picture's
background.
Then return to
your
picture,
place
the
cursor over
the pixel
you
want to
change (i.e .,
erase),
and
push
a control
button to replace the original
color
with
the
background color.
BRUSHES
The
brush menu displays the
brush shapes and
sizes
you
can
use in drawing
your creations.
To
choose one, place the cursor over
the
brush of your
choice and press any control button.
You'll
soon
discover
that
each brush
has
its own characteristics,
and each
will
be especially
useful
in
particular types
of
drawing.
An
interesting way
to
see
the
effects of
each
brush stroke
is
to select MAGNIFY
and
DRAW
from
the main
menu, and then
use
each brush
stroke
to draw free-hand on
the
screen.
You
can
use the brushes to
erase small
areas
of
your
drawing. Simply
choose
the brush style closest to
the size
or shape of
the
area you want
to
erase,
then
go to
the Color Menu
and
select the background
color.
Then use the brush to paint
over
the pixels-
returning them to the
original background color.
