I have been trying to make an Artistic Media Spray spray of three images and when I apply them to a shape, I get mess. I can do it fine with one image but when I try to use a few image it doesn't work. I have looked for a tutor and not having any luck. Does anyone know of one?
ThanksKimberly

I can't seem to get this right. When I add a new item to the spray list it doesn't go in a line (list across) in the New Spray box like shown on the video. They stack on top of each other but it does work. The real problem is how to I save this spray for later use. The save box in the artistic media box does not work.
DRAW will prompt you on closing the file if you have any unsaved spray list in the file.

Great video, up to Jeff's usual high standards :-)
This thread dates back to June of this summer??? Be that as it may, there is a solution for saving spray lists.
Create the spray list as Jeff shows in his video. As he demonstrated, you can change the settings/options of the spray list while you are using it (it's active). However, if you want to save those settings as the default for your spray list, you have to save when the spray list is NOT active (i.e. it's not selected). It would be like trying to save a spray list as a spray list. :)
What I do is create my spray list, and then play with it for a while to find the settings I like. Once you're satisfied write down these settings. De-select any stroke active (just click off the stroke in blank space on the page). Notice all the options for your new list go back to the original. Now, with your custom spray list showing in the drop-down list window, change the settings to match what you wrote down. When you make the changes note that the save icon on the property bar becomes active. When you're finished changing the options click the save icon. Save with the same name to replace the original settings or give it a new name.
Unfortunately, the thumbnail images for the spray list do not update to show the changes. I think it should, but it's not a bug, it's the way it is. I also think we should have an option to show names as well, but that's for the future...
