Tips
! You can apply a straight brush stroke using any brush based tool by holding down Ctrl after you begin to drag in the image window. While
still holding down Ctrl, you can press Shift to switch between horizontal and vertical brush strokes.
! When defining editable areas, you can use Ctrl and Shift to constrain the shape of the area you add or subtract after you begin to drag. For
example, if youre using the Ellipse Mask tool, holding down Ctrl constrains the shape to a circle, and holding down Ctrl + Shift makes the
circle expand from the center.
! You can select a fill color by right-clicking a color on the color palette.
! You can fit text to a path by clicking the Text tool, moving the pointer over a path, and clicking where you want the text to begin. As you
move the pointer over the path, the pointer changes. This change indicates that you can now click and type.
! You can change the order of objects using shortcut keys. Move an object to the top of the stack by pressing Shift + PgUp; move it to the
bottom of the stack, but above the background, by pressing Shift + PgDn; move it up one step in the stacking order by pressing Ctrl + PgUp;
and move it down one step by pressing Ctrl + PgDn.
! You can switch to the last tool used by pressing the Spacebar.
