I have used and am still using PictureIt2. I thought I would try a later
model so purchased Digital Image Suite. I can find how to do the same things
as in PictureIt with the exception of changing painting on an image. In
PictureIt, any painting was a separate layer or object which could be varied
independently of the main picture, i.e. blurred. In Digital Image Suite this
does not appear to create a separate layer which makes variariance of the
added paint impossible.
Am I missing how to do this in Digital Image Suite?

===========================
Digital Image Suite will do the same
thing your earlier program does if the
file is a layered project. In DIS you would
be working with a .png-plus file as
opposed to a .mix or .php file in your
earlier program.

You can create your own layers by using
the Advanced Selection Tools. Read the
DIS Help files.

Also find some tutorials at the following sites:

John,

Thank you for your reply. I will obviously have to delve more deeply!

BTW I tried the Mary's Graphics site but none of the tutorials seem to be
available.

You're welcome.

Mary's tutorials are working fine for me...
Maybe you have a pop-up stopper blocking
them...try holding your Ctrl key when clicking
the links.
