Thanks Manx Pixey, what a pretty place that is to live, if a bit wet and cold at times.
I'm slowly getting to grips with the selection business and I can see what you mean. I'm finding that for what I'm doing it's easiest to create a new layer for every new panel on the layout and to turn off all the other layers then use the magic wand to select. That's not very subtle but it works. I just need a bullet proof method that I'm documenting as I go along because I'm unlikely to use the program again for months if not years and I'll never remember what I've done and how to do anything by the time I return to it.
Is it just my ignorance, or is it impossible to come back at a later time and just resize these panels? It seems that you get one go to create something and then it's just pixels. There doesn't appear to be any intelligence embedded in the layers just dumb pixels. That's a pity if I'm right because it makes life unnecessarily hard.
Another question for you, is there a way to just type the cursor positions when you're trying to set something to an exact size? At the moment I'm having to use a steady hand and watch the coordinates on the bottom of the screen like a hawk.
I'm making a document that contains the corner coordinates of the panels in case I need to create them again or relative to their current positions.
Cheers,
Roger
