For additional brush strokes, to always reuse the original pickup point,
keep Aligned unchecked. Check Aligned to have your pickup point
change to be offset in relation to your brush tip's position—great for
removing unwanted regions that follow a natural path (e.g., a tree
branch).
Aligned unchecked Aligned checked
(Optional) For multiple layers, the context toolbar hosts a Use all
layers option which, when checked, will clone all layers (including
Background, standard, Text and Shape layers together). When
unchecked, only the active (selected) layer is cloned.
3. To define the pickup origin, Shift-click with the tool.
4. Click again where you want to start the copy, then drag to paint the copy
onto the new location. Repeat as needed. A crosshair marks the pickup
point, which moves relative to your brush movements.
Creating and editing text
PhotoPlus makes use of two text tools, i.e.
The Text Tool, for entering solid
text on a new layer. Use for eye-catching
or subtle captioning (opposite) and titling
equally.
The Text Selection Tool, for
creating a selection in the shape of text
(for filling with unusual fills).
The Layers tab designates text layers with a symbol. Like shapes, solid text in
PhotoPlus is editable: as long as it remains on a separate text layer, you can
retype it or change its properties at a later date.
