Colour Select & Erase Tool

[csteienr]

I have just upgraded from Photo & Graphic Designer v9 to the latest v11.

In v9 there was a colour select/erase tool on the toolbar which I found very useful. (see attached screenshot) However, I cannot seem to find this same tool anywhere in v.11 of the program.

Anyone know what has happened to it?

Thanks

There is a new colour selector in the photo tool. The old one has been moved to the button palette.

Hope this answers your question siran, P&GD11 is a different set up. As you can see you will have both buttons available then
select/erase and Set Photo Hue.

Wow, that's super cool, just when I thought the interface couldn't get better, I find out Xara lets me arrange this easily...how the big question that I cannot seem to find the answer to:

How does one make a button menu (like the default camera icon; when pushed, it reveals a small bar of more tools) as I'd like to construct a custom button/bar like this. Holding shift+alt and ctrl+alt didn't seem to do this nor did I seem to be able to drop a button on top of another button to create one...

Am I oblivious to something here? Thanks for any help...this is such a cool feature...

I am not 100% sure but I think you can not create cutom fly-out buttons. Please prove me wrong...

Sorry siran you are not wrong. You can not create a custom flyout but you can create a custom toolbar that can act as either a floating palette or be docked to any of the four sides of the program window.

To create a custom toolbar
1. Go to the Window menu and select Control bars
2. In the control bars panel click new and name your tool bar then click OK. A new blank toolbar will be created ( it will be quite small but don't worry it will expand as you add buttons)
3. In the control bars panel scroll down to the bottom and click button palette. The button palette will open and you will see the large selection of buttons you can choose from to add to your toolbar. Hold the alt key and drag buttons from the button palette to your toolbar.

This is better than nothing and for the most part, easier to set up than most other interfaces I've been privy to use. Thanks!
