First thing I noticed is I don't have a customizable button bar across the top, like I have in PSP. There may be a way of doing this that I have not learned of yet. If I can't do that with my favorite adjustments, I expect I will get familiar with some keyboard commands.
One thing that I didn't like was I can't zoom in/out with the +- keys on the numeric keypad. I have to use the ctrl key in conjunction with them to do it. Minor difference there.
The clone tool seems to work well, and I like being able to use the bracket keys to instantly make my chosen tool larger or smaller.
I knew PSE does not have built in curves. I have a free plugin I can add for that.
So far so good, but nothing to make me switch yet. |
I'd swear you mentioned the thing about Brush size (PSP doesn't use [ ] ) ... but now I don't see it.
or you remembered in PSP it is:
To increase brush size by 1 pixel, hold down the ALT key and press C.
To increase brush size by 20 pixels, hold down SHIFT + ALT and press C.
To decrease brush size by 1 pixel, hold down ALT, and press X.
To decrease brush size by 20 pixels, hold down SHIFT + ALT and press X
:)
