That's strange, it should work then. :l You're holding down the keys when you do it right? And you're not hitting the + and - that are beside the backspace? D:

You know how on computer keyboards it has the seperate number pad with the + and -?

Well, laptops have that too. Look in the top right corners of m, j, k, l, u, i, o, 7, 8, 9, ;, p, 0, ., /

All you need to do is hold Fn and press Numlck (Its beside the delete key)

This will change al the keys above the the symbols in the top corner. The ; Key is the + And the p Key is the -

I've noticed that the strange glitch you get sometimes after pressing "undo" can be fixed by selecting the picture, cutting and pasting it. It works sometimes.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

S-Nova In reply to PLUT0NIA [2010-02-13 15:42:37 +0000 UTC]

I used to do that, but sometimes it just doesnt work, so I just never resize the pencil since I could just resize a paintbrush and avoid the whole issue altogether.
Also when I use a little gradient trick, When I use a "Gradient Marking" trick I have to copy and paste the image into another window and THEN put the original image back over top, otherwise it'll dissapear when I click or deselect. Alot of things can be solved by copy and pasting, but I leave them out of the tuts because I can never explain them right x)
