How can learn the very basics of Pixelmator?

How can I learn the very basics of using Pixelmator?   I have no graphic arts experience beyond WOrd Art which I've used to design t-shirt graphics.    Although I had been encouraged to by Photo Shop, I wanted a smaller $ step into graphics art and was introduced to Pixelmator.
But I don't even know enough about how to start creating my ideas....e.g. how to even create artful text......    Pixelmator has a good learning site, but all of their tutorials seem to assume a basic knowledge of this kind of software.
My sister suggested I try to hook-up with a tutor through an Apple Forum....
Suggestions please?!

The folks at PixelmatorTutorials.net have in my opinion the best tutorials to date for those who want to learn image editing. They have a series of tutorials called back to basics and these go into the details of image editing. Explaining everything from what a pixel is, to how it gets its color etc. They also explain the app itself in detail. I'd recommend following them. They usually pubilish 1 to 2 tutorials a week. They have some handy tips in every tutorial I watched so far. Like shorcuts that I never knew existed and are not even mentioned in the Pixelmator manual.

Good luck.

  • Need to learn the very basics on getting started

    Hi, I just got home with my super new iPad Air Wi-Fi + Cellular and have completed all the setup questions. After entering my password I get the initial screen with standard apps but when I tap any of them nothing happens. Battery is fully charged and in the top left corner it shows 'No SIM and the Wi-Fi symbol. I hope this is me just being a bit dumb and would appreciate some advice.
    Thanks.

    Looks like I neglected to post the link: http://help.apple.com/ipad/7/
    As to your questions: Google apps will not run on an iOS device. You must download then from the app store. No exceptions.  Alternately, you can download them to itunes on a computer and sync to the iPad.
    As for troubleshooting the App store issue, try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.

  • How to learn the Business Process and how it is related to BI?

    Dear Experts,
    How to learn the Business Process? for example the business process from finance to sales. As I am more involved in technical development of BI; I dont know or having very hard time to understand what the business process. And how the Business Process is related to BI?
    I think if I don't understand the business process than it is very hard to satisfy the User requirements. If you have any documentation please feel free to forward it to [email protected]
    I wish you happy new year. Thank you in advance.
    Aslam.

    If only plan data entered, try to delete the planning data before delete the object and then re-create it again. Otherwise you may have to leave it as is and change the description for the usage by the different company code.

  • How can change the font in the script output and the data grid ?

    How can change the font in the script output and the data grid in Sql Developer?

    You can't easily unless you have the latest version (2.1.1).
    If you do have this version then changing the font in the Tools/Preferences menu under the code editor/fonts section will also change the font of the data grid.
    For details of changing the fonts in an earlier version then see Sue's post below.

    You are trying to find a loophole to circumvent a basic rule that prohibits the transfer of purchased content from one Apple ID to another.
    Content tied to an Apple ID are bound to that Apple ID forever. You can not merge or trade accounts. Well, not (officially) anyway...

  • How can i download visual basic on mac??

    how can i download visual basic on mac?

    Not download and run on OS X. You can run Windows on your computer via Boot Camp or using virtualization software like Parallels. But MS does not have a Mac compatible version of VB
    There are third-party Basics for OS X, however they are not VB. The closest to VB is probably REAL Basic.
    OS X's own programming environment is XCode which is a free download via the App Store. It is a development environment that uses C as the compiler language. XCode is a visual development environment, too.

    >Step 1. Backup existing data using time machine.
    Time Machine is nice, but you have very little in terms of ability to verify that your data is all backed up.      I find Time Machine is better for the occasional recovery of previously written data at specific times.  A good backup solution that survives an erase and install (there is no clean install in Mac OS X), is a clone, and preferably TWO clones.    See my FAQ*:
    http://www.macmaps.com/backup.html
    Time Machine can work as good as a clone, and in fact I once had to rely on it because my hard drive died.  Thankfully it did recover everything.   But I had my clone just in case it didn't work.     Now I feel more comfortable since clones allow you to boot themselves, and thus prove all the important system information got saved, and not just the user data.
    Clones are also easier to import with the migration assistant.

  • How can identify the default currency for a customer?

    How can identify the default currency for a customer?
    I know that this is being determined when you create a sales order for a particular customer, for example, so I could break this process open and find out what it uses. But I thought it worth asking in this forum first.
    Blue

    Hi Gary,
    As per my understanding of your question I am replying , If you are looking some thing else then I request you to please elaborate your query.
    If you see the BP sales area data in transaction BP, In billing tab you maintain the currency for a customer which is default currency when you create a sales order.

  • How can hide the command line of a t.code in the portal

    Dear Experts.
    I have the following doubt:
    How can hide the Command Line of a Report that is called with a T.Code in the portal?
    Attach Image:
    [Image T.Code|http://www.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/eab3b6a03c.jpg]
    When I created a service using the T.Code SICF for the T.Code , I can hide buttons and the filed command line  using
    ~webgui_simple_toolbar
    ~singletransaction
    ~NOHEADEROKCODE
    With notes 1010519, "SAP GUI for HTML: Simplified Title Area Without Menu and OK Code" and 959417.
    But the problem is that when I create the service in the T.Code SICF, I also have that create an Iview IAC in the portal.
    The Question is : How can hide this fields and buttons if I want Publish the T.code using an Iview Transaction in the portal?
    In this moment I have used the two options:
    1 option) I created a service using the t.Code SICF for my Transaction and I also created an Iview IAC in the portal for call the service.
    RESULT:
    SAP Web Application Server
             500 Connection timed out

    2)  created an Iview Transaction  in the portal and  call my transaction.
    RESULT.
    [Image T.Code|http://www.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/eab3b6a03c.jpg]
    But not can hide the field Command Line and other buttons.
    I think that the command :
    ~webgui_simple_toolbar
    ~singletransaction
    ~NOHEADEROKCODE
    Only can be used if I create a service using the T.Code SICF .
    Best Regards
    Carmen.

    Hi Carmen,
    The bottom line is that this cannot be done for transaction iviews without modifying the standard webgui service in SICF, which is probably not a good idea (since it affects everyone using SAP GUI for HTML). (You could hack the appintegrator to add the ~webgui_simple_toolbar parameter to the transaction URL template in the portal, but again its not a recommended thing to do ...). Better to create an IAC service in SICF with ~webgui=1 where you set the required appearance using an appropriate value for ~webgui_simple_toolbar, and then create an IAC iview to point at this service.
    You can even override the ~transaction value configured in the new service in individual IAC iviews by entering the appropriate value in the application parameter of the iview, for example:
    ~okcode=/nSU01
    And you can pass parameters in the same way:
    ~okcode=/nSU01 USR02-BNAME=xyz;USREFUS-USERALIAS=abc;
    By the way, it would not be recommended to create a URL iview to access an IAC, since you are likely to encounter session management issues in this scenario - better to use an IAC iview.

  • How can all the users in my computer (my kids) have access to all the photos I have in I Photo?

    How can all the users in my computer (my kids) have access to all the photos I have in I Photo? My photos only appear when I (the administrator) log into the computer. I want my kids to be able to access them also.

    For iPhoto 09 (version 8.0.2) and later:
    What you mean by 'share'.
    If you want the other user to be able to see the pics, but not add to, change or alter your library, then enable Sharing in your iPhoto (Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open the other account. In that account, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. Your Library will appear in the other source pane.
    Any user can drag a pic from the Shared Library to their own in the iPhoto Window.
    Remember iPhoto must be running in both accounts for this to work.
    If you want the other user to have the same access to the library as you: to be able to add, edit, organise, keyword etc.
    Quit iPhoto in both accounts. Move the Library to the Users / Shared Folder
    (You can also use an external HD set to ignore permissions, a Disk Image or even partition your Hard Disk.)
    In each account in turn: Double click on the Library to open it. (You may be asked to repair the Library Permissions.) From that point on, this will be the default library location. Both accounts will have full access to the library, in fact, both accounts will 'own' it.
    However, there is a catch with this system and it is a significant one. iPhoto is not a multi-user app., it does not have the code to negotiate two users simultaneously writing to the database, and trying will cause db corruption. So only one user at a time, and back up, back up back up.
