Good Luck with Pixia3.1 and your repaints. D/l the Pixia Help files and use them often. Get familiar using layers; use many layers to make editing simpler (less items per layer). Save files often and AS PIXIA; your formatting and layers are only (S)aved using *.pxa extention Choose Pixia Standard Format (Standard)!

Add paint to paintkit using the Hybrid Layer (this allows paintkit to show thru paint)

Remember: convert the paintkit fiiles to 24bit using DXTbmp.exe to repaint in Pixia; after painting, convert back to DXT3 (Extended) using DXTbmp.exe

N.B. Text-O-Matic will work using 32bit files

Good Luck

P.S. copying and pasting logos etc., is the same as in any other graphics progam; use the Bezier Tool to select irregular shapes

N.B. DO NOT USE KEYBOARD COMMANDS CRTL+C / CTRL-V in Pixia 3.1 ! Use ONLY the EDIT MENU COMMANDS (otherwise, Pixia will hang or crash) Check the Pixia forum for more help
