Hey guy's here is a simple one. Im still trying to lick this whole Raster/Vector thing. Why is it sometimes I cant delete cut away a background. I choose the whole area and then click cut. but it doesnt cut it out. Is that because of a vector or raster image?

Funny thing i noticed. On these posts you can't spell the word "s e l e c t" straight out because these message boards wont display the word. As anyone else noticed this?
because it doesnt show the word. The only way to get it to show is put spaces between the letters. Someone else try it. This is strange. I wonder does JafO and gang know about this?

| To use the keyboard move controls, you first have to have the move tool active by physically moving the Selection, layer, object, or group to the approximate position you want it. Once you have moved it even a couple of pixels with the move tool, you'll be able to use the arrows on the keyboard as described. |
Sadly, that doesn't work for me either.

You can't use the Selection tools on a Vector layer (unless it's the 'Object Selection' tool). Vector works very different than Raster.
And yes we're aware of the gremlin that eats certain words.

If it is a background, the common type that I am used to, and not this raster or vector crap, then you can't cut it away from your image. Imagine something on the ground. And imagine a image floating in the air. If you cut away some of the image on the ground(background), the earth will still show through. The earth will be your background color. This is a good chance to make your background color magic pink. Your right palette is your background color. If you cut away some of the image floating in the air(vector or raster), it is transparent/tranlucent.

Also, if you are working with multiple layers you have to make sure that you the proper layer to cut from. If you cut and the wrong layer is ed, nothing will happen. You may even get a error message.

To use the keyboard move controls, you first have to have the move tool active by physically moving the Selection, layer, object, or group to the approximate position you want it. Once you have moved it even a couple of pixels with the move tool, you'll be able to use the arrows on the keyboard as described.
As for the half-pixel move, it is only with vector objects that you can move by half-pixel increments. In PSP8, you have the option to have vector nodes align to the center of a pixel or aligned to the grid (corner of a pixel). If you go into File>Preferences>General Program Preferences... and click on the Units tab, you'll see a check box on the lower left under Vector Coordinates. If you check this box, then the Vector Nodes will align themselves to the center of the pixel. If you leave this box, unchecked, the nodes will align themselves to the grid (corner). It can come in handy when working with a mandatory image size of even units (ie 16x16, 24x24) and you want to align a shape such as a triangle for a forward/back button and you want the tip to be centered in the image. Normally, you'd have to either settle for a blunt tip two pixels wide, or have the point be slightly off the midline. With this setting, you don't have to choose (assuming you're planning to save as a png for conversion to a tga).
