    I'm getting short sighted I guess so I would like to be able to increase the pick radius of my pick tool in Corel 14. I can't find anything wandering around in the software. Anyone know the secret. Adrian

  4. How do I make a PNG file with a transparent background that doesn't look like crap?

    Well J... I'm not getting anything but the polar bear when I try it. Can you make an animated tutorial for me? Just kidding but it won't do it for me. What's the sequence... if you have a minute. I must be missing a check box or something. Adrian

  8. How do I make a PNG file with a transparent background that doesn't look like crap?

  13. Another hand carved HDU sign. (with gilding)

    Sam... I just use fingers and the piece of sandpaper itself. Like I said, the letters are pretty smooth to start with. The paint makes them smooth too. The large lettering on the sign posted here was done with a 1.5" wide cabinet makers chisel from the building supply and a box cutter. Except...
  14. Another hand carved HDU sign. (with gilding)

  16. Gilding: NEWBIE
