Creating a 1 Rank Nozzle-(P4-5)


Go to the folder where you copied the Leaves2.POR file. Select Leaves2.POR.  and click on the Open button.  Press the “F” Key or click on the Floater Adjuster Tool located in the Tools (5) palette.  Drag all 5 floaters (without a shadow) into your working window. You should have five leaves that are different shades of green. Your painting will look like this (6): Now is a good time to save this file.  I try to save my work after each major step so I won’t have so much to re-do if I run into unforeseen problems.  Saving your work is the best habit you can develop because many graphics programs won’t auto-save your files at given intervals.

One leaf is bigger than the other four.  Click on the background with the Floater Adjuster Tool (5) to deselect the floaters.  To make the large one smaller, select the leaf and click on Effects/Orientation/Free Transform in the Painter Program Bar.  A new bounding box with 8 handles appears around the leaf (7).  Drag any corner handle in the direction you want to resize it.  Hold down the Shift Key to maintain exact proportions of the image.  The side handles resize one dimension, up or down, in or out.  Hold down the Ctrl Key to rotate the image from any corner or slant the image from any side handle.  The Objects:Floater List (8) shows the 8 handled icon next to the name of the leaf so you can easily identify which floaters are in  the Transform state.

To return the floater to its normal state click on Effects/Orientation/Commit Transform.
