In Photo-Paint X7 when I click on the cottonbud icon, the circle outline appears but nothing changes on the photo as I left-click and move it across the image. Running Windows10.
Has anyone else experienced this?
It used to work fine - but stopped suddenly. I have tried re-installing X7 suite several times, but no success in overcoming this.
Not sure why, but this issue came shortly after I also experienced a problem exporting images as .jpg. I subsequently found a solution to the export, but not the Effect Tool malfunction.
Would be grateful for any tips/work-arounds, as I haven't seen any similar posts on this problem in any forums.
Thanks. -Geoff
Check property bar to see if you are in a merge mode other than Normal
try effecting a flattened image with no masks. if it works there, then check objects and masks on your other main image.
Hi Jeff, Thanks for your fast reply.
No - the property bar is in 'Normal' mode. The image is a simple photo (no masks). The Effect icon is active, and the circle outline is ready to apply the custom smear/smudge - but nothing happens.
I will attempt to attach a screenshot of my workspace so you can see what is active.
