    Re: Repelling and anchoring

    My solution is inelegant but it works perfectly. Don't repel the text under the image. Instead, use a shape to repel the type and put the image over that. That way you can easily stretch the shape to...

    Re: light boxes around .jpg in exported PDF files.

    Re: light boxes around .jpg in exported PDF files.

    I can confirm this. The transparent rectangle slightly changes the color of the layer behind it. This never shows on-screen, only when printed out. All my print-outs are pdf files. There are two...

    Pressure sensitivity works fine, but I only see a thin blue line as I draw it; lift the pen and it changes to a variable-weight black (in this case) line. I would prefer to see the variable weight...

    Re: "pen pressure" tool - greyed out - wacom tablet

    No need to choose the icon. Make sure you don't have a previous line selected. Choose the line width you prefer (say, 8px--this sets the largest width the line will draw at full pressure) and start...
