jp2paint Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 Trying to emboss some text. Font: Wingdings 2 Size: 200 Character: 9 (cassette tape) Now, to emboss this character, I select the Magic Wand (S), and click on the character. Instead of the character being selected, the entire screen is selected. Ok, fine. I'll invert this: CTRL+i and now *nothing* is selected. If I try to emboss this character without the character being selected, I get a screen full of gray. I don't want a screen full of gray. I just want the embossed character with a transparent background. Can this be done?

MattBlackLamb Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 Check your tolerance settings on the magic wand. It sounds like they are too high, if you have the tolerance about about 70 (I think) it selects the whole picture. Try moving the tolerance slider down to about 50 or so & see if that helps dA Son, someday you will make a girl happy for a short period of time. Then she'll leave you & be with men that are ten times better than you can imagine. These men are called musicians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jp2paint Posted September 5, 2007 Author Share Posted September 5, 2007 Thanks! That helped a *lot*! Also as a FYI, though it does not seem to be documented anywhere that I can find, holding down the control key while clicking more objects allows more than one item to be selected at a time. Again, thanks! ~Joe Avoid Sears Home Improvement (click to read why) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david.atwell Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Eh? No necroposting, especially not for blatant self-promotion. Thread Locked The Doctor: There was a goblin, or a trickster, or a warrior... A nameless, terrible thing, soaked in the blood of a billion galaxies. The most feared being in all the cosmos. And nothing could stop it, or hold it, or reason with it. One day it would just drop out of the sky and tear down your world.Amy: But how did it end up in there?The Doctor: You know fairy tales. A good wizard tricked it.River Song: I hate good wizards in fairy tales; they always turn out to be him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
