From the Match mode dropdown, you can choose to select based on color, hue, brightness or opacity of an object or area. The Magic Wand allows you to make a comprehensive selection with just one click, based on Match mode options. Go to the Selection tools group on the left-hand Tools toolbar and select the Magic Wand tool. We will begin with the Two Flowers image.
Open PaintShop Pro in the Edit workspace.
You’ll also learn how to make small touch-ups to perfect your selection.Ĭlick on any of the images below to view full-size. In this tutorial we’ll show you how to use the Magic Wand and how to adjust the various settings to achieve a precise selection. Or alternatively, just accept ASCII decimal key definitions for every font supported.With the Magic Wand selection tool, you can select an object or area in your images based on the color or brightness – for example, a pink rose surrounded by green leaves, or a dark area in an otherwise bright image. a symbol library for the supported fonts (a new icon on the font face line in the Text/Edit panel to select which gives that display display of available symbols), like Word does andī. Longer term, a better solution would be to get this fixed in the next VS version, with:Ī. Short term can you suggest anything else? Specifically, since you seem to be able to reproduce the © symbol in X5 with a copy and paste, what's different between your version of X5 and mine? I agree your comment about VS not accepting alt+0169 (since my VS seems to be behaving differently to yours in aspects of this, I just thought I'd check that one out).
The problem seems to be in the font definitions in VS, and specifically with the extra-normal key uses that give these symbols. I could reproduce the symbol OK in Word, even the old one I have. But other fonts gave similar results: the display of the copyright symbol wasn't what I expected but did vary from font to font for the few I tested. At least, not in the VS Pro X5 Ultimate with sp1 version I have. And text on this page is reacting the same way.Įxperimentation with the fonts in VS indicated that Basic Latin was a font it did not support either. The original font in VS and Word was MisterEarl BT.
The normal text was the same but the symbol was a capital O with comma on top, just like this: Ó Sunrise. Opened the project file text item I wanted to modify and pasted the copied text. All looked OK, so selected the symbol and text group, copied it and then brought VS back to focus. Clicked on it and added some text in the same font that the VS text is in. Tried the insert font function, and there isn't a Basic Latin item choice there, but it has a symbol font and in the symbol font library was the item I wanted.
Mine is the 2000 professional version, a tad old but has the docx add-on and it covers everything I've needed so far. Unlike word, there doesn't seem to be a way of identifying what the font library in VS actually is, without a practical test (the practical test: open a text box with the font selected and then key each key on the keyboard to see what the displayed result in the VS text box is). I noted that VS has a symbol font, but the copyright item does not seem to be part of it's library for that font. thanks Ken, I've just been experimenting with that without a lot of luck.
