I am not sure what I am doing wrong or if I have turned the tools off some how.
I am unable to smear or use the brush tools on digital images opened in PhotoPaint.Please help me...
Andy
I use Corel Photo-Paint X4.I tried to smear with Custom smear on a photo and it worked perfect.I dont know what version you have, but have you installed service packs for the specific version?Have you tried using the F8 key? (hold down key and then start program, while keep holding down key, click OK.OR, have you made a very human misstake of NOT choosing the right Object in the Docker?If you have more than one object in the Docker, see to that the correct object is selected, and then use the smear tool
Thank you for the note:
I am using Corel PhotoPaint 12. F8 will bring up the tool but has no effect on any digital image. I can draw lines, mask areas and use the fill tool etc. but I am unable to use the effects tool, smear or paint brush tools. There must be something turned off but I am unsure what.
Any ideas?
I made sure that the paint mode is normal and I have sized the tool to be large and yet smear will not work. I have also made a mask to see if it would work in an area that have been masked but not luck. I only have one JPG image open.
:(

Andy, when Stefan says F8, it means resetting the workspace i.e. hold down the F8 key as you start PhotoPaint. When it prompts you for comfirmation, click ok.
Thanks guys!
