there are videos in the demo version.
The one thing I don't like about the new selection tool is that if you
start out using the selection tool, use it to fully edit something so
that a different tool opens up, when you're finished with that
editing, the program doesn't go back to having the selection tool
active. So whatever tool you were most recently working in (activated
by the selection tool) remains active, and I find it disconcerting
because mentally I was working in the selection tool and expect to
still be working with the selection tool once I finish some specific
task I started with the selection tool.
It's a petty gripe but it's something I find bothersome.
Dear David,
I agree, but then it only takes using the "escape" key to get you back
to the selection tool, and I'm not sure how this function would work
otherwise. If there's a better way, maybe we could propose it.
Actually, I was unaware that using the escape key served
that purpose. Knowing that should make a difference for me
-- thanks for pointing that out.
