[Resetting Colour Picker Locations]

Hello MEB and stokerg,

I did a shut down and restart of the program. I do not have any recipes in place, as this is only the second time I've opened the program. I am entering the colour picker through the swatches tab in the right menu bar. I drag and drop the eyedropper tool from that menu onto my image to select a color. I then proceed to click on the color circle to the right of the eyedropper icon to fill my foreground color selection. The selector bubbles remain.

 

(Interesting to note that when I try to use the Grab program to get a screen grab, just a selection, the selector bubbles disappear. If I do a timed, full screen grab, I can capture a screen grab of the bubbles.)

[Can't paint on new pixel layer]

Hi stokerg,

Looks like a closeout and restart of the program was the key on this. It was a brand new install and the very first time I'd opened it. The program is looking quite promising! Thank you for the prompt reply.

I've picked a color from my image to utilize in my swatches, but the big selector bubbles do not go away. Is there a trick to making this happen?

[Can't paint on new pixel layer]

Hi!

I'm new to the software, but have been a pro user of Photohop since 1997.

 

I've opened a png file, 300 dpi, rgb to play with. I've done a shift-command-n to create a new, blank pixel layer, but am unable to paint on the layer. If I create a duplicate of the background layer, I can paint or manipulate the image. Would love some feedback on what I can do to make this work!

Thank you.
