Phew, Lesson 7!
All the way through this course, I was having a heck of a time selecting a vector object. I just couldn't figure out how to do it. So I looked it up on the Corel site, tried a couple of keyboard shortcuts (notably Ctrl-Shift-B) and suddenly my PSP 2021 sort sprung to life and worked properly. Yay. Persistence pays off, I guess.
Goodness, I finally managed to finish Lesson 4. When I did C-R-A-C-Paste, I still ended up with filled in shapes, so I added "Reverse Contour" after I'd pasted the cut-out shapes onto the main cup. That worked, but I'm not sure why! I must have been messing up a step.
I can't figure out how to select two nodes and change them together as shown in the first part of Lesson 2 (red label). When I do select them and change the type to "Symmetric" and "Cusp" they don't stay that way and I don't get any handles to manipulate. I can do them individually without a problem. Curious.
Thanks Carole - I wanted to try the hexagons to see if they felt a little too theme-y, but I liked them. Funny, I forgot the drop shadows at first, so I redid the page before I posted it, but didn't like the effect, so I took them out again!
