Hey Teyon, regarding what you said about the selection tool....."I don't think there's a way to rename the tool."

The first time I used the rectangle lasso selection tool, I saw that it was named "selection" in the sub tool menu, (rectangle selection, elliptical selection, etc.....) and now they're all named "marquee", and I never renamed anything. Also the tools behaved differently too. When it was the lasso rectangle "selection" tool it just formed a dotted box around the object, now that it's named "marquee", it's a dotted box with other command icons attached below it.  I don't know how it got changed from "selection" to "marquee", and I can't seem to find a way to change it back. I no longer have a "selection" submenu, it's all "marquee" now.  I don't think it's just a matter of re-naming it, because I never touched the name box, never entered a new name, this happened all on its own.

Regarding: "To move the frame, In the Layer pallate, select the Frame1 layer and then in the tool bar, select the  Move Layer tool (it's right about the selection tool). This will allow you to move the frame and all it's contents (as long as they're all in the same frame group)."

I think I tried that. The frame I drew is about 1/4th of the size of the whole canvass. The purple covers the whole canvass area. When I select that layer and use the Move Layer tool, the frame moves, but the whole purple canvass moves with it. I'm trying to move just the frame without moving the purple canvass. Unless that's the way it's supposed to be, and I'm not able to move the frame flush up to a corner of the purple.

Hey RorrKonn, cool picture! I have been reading the Quick Strart and Tool guides, they are helping. I will check out the custom brushes, but that is going to be much later. I'm still trying to wrap my head around how this all works. Sooner or later stuff will begin to make sense.

Teyon, I'm going to try to make a jpeg screen shot in a little while and see if I remember how to upload it to here so you can see both the "marquee" name in the select tools submenu, and the frame I'm trying to move.
