Hi Mark!
I said only recently on this list, that one day all people will be
called Mark. I didn't let on that all people would be called Mark
Smith, as I felt that these things should be done in stages - but I
see the plan is further along than I'd thought!
Still, welcome to the list, and you'll find that even those who
stubbornly hold on to their weird non-mark-smith names are very
helpful and knowledgeable.
The routine I have for adding things to groups is:
1. Select the item to be added - in this case your image, and copy or
cut it
2. Deselect "Select Grouped" in the toolbar
3. Select your group
4. Select "Edit Group" in the toolbar
5. Paste
Best,
Mark Smith

Before I begin, Jacqueline suggested I let the other Mark Smith in
this list
know that I am not a doppleganger. We probably look nothing alike :-)
That said, I am very new to this and just fooling around with some
of the
tutorial examples, in this case the first one, the calendar. All
goes well
until I get to this point:
"You can create a background image in any graphic
editing application such as Gimp or Photoshop then
import it into Revolution as a control. This image can
then be copied into the background group using the
edit group control. If the imported image has a
particular shape you can force the stack itself to take
that shape."
I import the image ok using the File menu command "import as
control" (at least
I think that is what I am to do). And then the image shows up. But
I've not
been able to figure out how you move it into the background group
using the
edit group control. When I select the image the edit group control
is not an
option. If I select the group on the card, then select "edit group"
nothing
happens. There must be some sequence of mouse clicks that I am just
not
getting. Any advice would be great. Thanks
Oh, and at midnight I turn into a pumpkin according to the "trial
remaining
days" counter. I better go buy something if I am too be able to
complete this
tutorial. Cheers,
the "other" mark smith
