'Starter' & Template Images
|
||||
* 'Starters' can behave like a page from a
|
||||
coloring book — a black-and-white outline of a
|
||||
picture, which you can then color in, and the
|
||||
black outline remains intact — or like a 3D
|
||||
photograph, where you draw in between a
|
||||
foreground and background layer.
|
||||
* 'Templates' are similar, but simply provide a
|
||||
background drawing to work off of. Unlike
|
||||
'Starters', there is no layer that remains in
|
||||
the foreground of anything you draw in the
|
||||
picture.

'Starter' & Template Images
|
||||
When using the 'Eraser' tool, the original image from
|
||||
the 'Starter' or 'Template' will reappear. The 'Flip'
|
||||
and 'Mirror' Magic tools affect the orientation of
|
||||
the 'Starter' or 'Template', as well.

When you load a 'Starter' or 'Template', draw on it,
|

and then click 'Save,' it creates a new picture file
|

— it doesn't overwrite the original, so you can use
|
||||
it again later (by accessing it from the 'New'

dialog).
