Hi,

I downloaded your program early this morning (demo version), and got it installed and running, but apparently I'm doing something wrong.

I'll choose a symbol from the selection box, drag it to my drawing area, resize it, and duplicate it as desired.

Then I'll choose another symbol from the selection box, drag it to my drawing area, and immediately the first symbol reverts to its original size, messing the whole thing up.

Am I doing something wrong? Please advise.

Thanks,
Annika

Let me try to add a couple of screen captures.

Before:

And after:

Note how the border image has reverted to its original size, throwing the whole thing off.



How can I make the first _object_ keep it's correct size?

Hi,

You have to finish the transformation before doing anything else! Press enter or double click with the mouse when you are in free transform mode. After you can add elements.

Does it helped?

Ah! Thanks so much!

I've sent payment for the professional version. Can't wait to get the demo unlocked and get started on making more mandalas!

Happy to read that

One more question, if I may.

I'm having tons of fun with the provided graphics, but I wonder where I can get more?

I don't have PhotoShop (too expensive) or PaintShop (would consider buying if it's adequate). I do have a basic photo editor, but it can't do transparent backgrounds.

Sorry for the "newbie" question. I'm a quick learner, but I just need to be pointed in the right direction to get me started.

(I uploaded a couple of mandalas I made on the MandalaPortal. )

I have plans to create a symbol upload/download function into the program so the users can exchange their stuff... But I don't have time so it may take several month or even a half year...

The best to search with google for symbols (black and white mode) and get a photo editor program that can create transparent areas. Maybe the free gimp can do it but no so user friendly...

Thank you!

GIMP works just fine.

Thank you for the message exchange. Reading this may be as valuable as watching the videos; but at least complements video watching.

Though I have a "lite" Photoshop version, I download Gimp and installed it, and it is quite interesting.

However, a popular "freeware" program that performs some of the lower end photoshop or upper MS Paint functions and also has a good reputation is:

Irfanview by a Bosian programer whose first name is Irfan.

Yes, Irfanview a great program, I use it several times!
