|     Paint Brush lets you paint with |
| a wide variety of solid colors and  |
| patterns. You can add text and even |
| create lines, ovals and rectangles  |
| at the touch of a button.           |
|                                     |
| Here's how to use Paint Brush:      |
|                                     |
|     1. Pull down the Tools menu and |
|        select Paint Brush.          |
|                                     |
|     2. Select either the solid color|
|        or pattern option.           |
|                                     |
|     3. Select a color or pattern.   |
|        If you've chosen patterns,   |
|        click the mouse over the "up"|
|        or "down" scrolling arrow to |
|        view all the patterns        |
|        possibilities, six at a time.|
|                                     |
|     4. Select a brush shape.        |
|                                     |
|     5. Select a brush size. The     |
|        smallest brush size you can  |
|        use with solid colors is one |
|        pixel.                       |
|                                     |
|     6. Move the cursor, now shaped  |
|        like the tip of a paint      |
|        brush, onto the drawing area,|
|        and press the mouse button to|
|        begin drawing.               |
|                                     |
|     7. Release the button when you  |
|        want to stop drawing and to  |
|        move the cursor around the   |
|        screen without leaving a     |
|        trace.                       |
|                                     |
|     8. To erase, select black or the|
|        color of your background and |
|        the brush size and shape with|
|        which you want to erase.     |
|                                     |
|     9. With the mouse button pressed|
|        down, sweep the cursor across|
|        the area you want to erase.  |
|                                     |
|                                     |
| Hints:                              |
|                                     |
|     1. To draw staight vertical or  |
|        horizontal lines, press the  |
|        "Open Apple" key ("Closed    |
|        Apple" if you're using a     |
|        drawing pad or joystick)     |
|        while you move the brush.    |
|        This feature is called       |
|        "constrain." You can also use|
|        this feature inthe Spray     |
|        Paint mode and, as you'll    |
|        soon see, when drawing       |
|        Shapes.                      |
|                                     |
|     2. Your brush tip is displayed  |
|        in a contrasting color so    |
|        that you won't "lose" it on a|
|        background of the same color.|
|        Occasionally, you may want   |
|        your brush displayed in the  |
|        current color, rather than   |
|        the contrasting color. press |
|        the spacebar to switch       |
|        between these two options.   |
|                                     |

<=-=*=---------------------------=*=-=>
|                                     |
|     Spray paint is primarily a      |
| shading tool that lets you apply    |
| colors and pattern in any density.  |
| You can adjust the spray to four    |
| different shapes.                   |
|                                     |
| Here's how to use Spray Paint:      |
|                                     |
|     1. Pull down the Tools menu and |
|        select Spray Paint.          |
|                                     |
|    2a. Using solid colors: If you   |
|        are filling a solid color    |
|        with another solid color, the|
|        "Fill" and "With" boxes both |
|        are pre-set to the solid     |
|        option, so all you have to do|
|        is select a color, then click|
|        the mouse over the area that |
|        you want to fill that color  |
|        with.                        |
|                                     |
|    2b. Using patterns: If you're    |
|        filling with a pattern or    |
|        over a pattern, you must tell|
|        the computer. To do so, first|
|        click the mouse option next  |
|        to the computer. To do so,   |
|        first click the moust over he|
|        solid or pattern option next |
|        to the "Fill" box to indicate|
|        what type of area you plan to|
|        fill. Then click over the    |
|        solid or pattern option next |
|        to the "With" box. Now select|
|        the pattern or color from the|
|        palette that you ant to fill |
|        with. If you are filling over|
|        a pattern, the cursor will   |
|        change to a dotted-line box. |
|        Click the mouse over the area|
|        that yu want to fill.        |
|                                     |
|  Note - The dotted-line box shows   |
|         what Dazzle Draw "sees" as  |
|         the pattern it will cover   |
|                                     |

|     The Zoom feature lets you       |
| magnify a small segment of your     |
| drawing so tat you can do fine      |
| detail work by adding and deleting  |
| colors, pixel by pixel. You can work|
| in even finer details with the      |
| color option in the Goodies menu    |
| turned off. The Grid function, also |
| in the Goodies menu, can further    |
| enhance your Zoom work.             |
|                                     |
|     Here's how to magnify a section |
| of your drawing:                    |
|                                     |
|     1. Pull down the Tools menu and |
|        select the Zoom feature.     |
|                                     |
|     2. A dotted-line box will appear|
|        on the screen.               |
|                                     |
|     3. Move the box to the area you |
|        want to magnify by pressing  |
|        the mouse button and dragging|
|        the box to the section you   |
|        want to magnify. Then click  |
|        the mouse.                   |
|                                     |
|     4. The selected area will be    |
|        placed in the Active box. It |
|        also will be enlarged to fill|
|        up the entire drawing area,  |
|        so you can modify the drawing|
|        pixel by pixel.              |
|                                     |
|     5. While you're working, you can|
|        redefine the section you're  |
|        working on by using the "zoom|
|        scroller," a device that     |
|        appear in the Zoom tool      |
|        window. The zoom scroller is |
|        like a joystick that directs |
|        the positioning of the       |
|        magnified working area.      |
|        Simply point the cursor at   |
|        the dot in the center of the |
|        zoom scroller and press the  |
|        mouse button. Then move the  |
|        cursor in the desired        |
|        direction.                   |
|                                     |
|     Working in your magnified       |
| section, here's how to add te delete|
| colors:                             |
|                                     |
|     1. Pick a color.                |
|                                     |
|     2. Move the cursor to te pixel  |
|        you want to color and click  |
|        the mouse. To color more than|
|        one pixel, simply hold down  |
|        the button while moving the  |
|        mouse until you've filled in |
|        all the pixels.              |
|                                     |
|     3. If you change your mind and  |
|        want to erase this color,    |
|        click the mouse over the     |
|        pixel or pixels you have that|
|        color. The pixels will turn  |
|        black.                       |
|                                     |

| add words to your drawing. You have |
| your choice of two type fonts       |
| (Modern or Serif) and three stylus  |
| (Plain, Bold, or Italic). In        |
| addition, you can choose two sizes  |
| for each font: 18 or 36 Point for   |
| Modern and 24 or 48 Point for Serif.|
|                                     |
|     If you want to add text to your |
| drawing:                            |

|        select Text.                 |
|                                     |
|     2. The Text Tool window will    |
|        appear, displaying the       |
|        current font, size, and      |
|        style. You can change any of |
|        these settings by clicking   |
|        the mouse over the current   |
|        choice. The available options|
|        will appear one at a time.   |
|                                     |
|     3. Move your cursor to the      |
|        position where you want your |
|        text to begin, and click the |
|        mouse. This position the text|
|        cursor at the place where the|
|        character type will begin.   |
