Notes on using the paint software

• The pen thickness and the eraser size can be selected with the triangle buttons.
• To use the eyedropper, select "COLOR PICK UP" and click the point you want to sample. While drawing, you can also eyedrop with a right-click (Ctrl+click).
• The pen shape can be selected with the icon buttons at the top (freehand, line, rectangle, ellipse, bezier).
• The BRUSH triangle button selects the airbrush size and the TONE (fill 1/2, 1/4, 3/4).
• Right-click (Ctrl+click) on one of the 12 palettes to move the current drawing color into that palette slot.
• If you CLEAR by mistake, press the UNDO button right away to undo it.
• After selecting the MASK button, sample the color to be masked, like using the eyedropper. The color set as MASK is protected and cannot be overwritten by other colors. The mask on/off is toggled by clicking the MASK button once more while the MASK button is selected. Clicking MASK::Normal/Reverse inverts the protection direction.
• While using the loupe (x2-x8), move the screen with the slide bar and the SLIDE button. SAVE only works at 1x.
