Hi,
I am trying to replicate a pixel pattern tutorial given at the link below.
<http://www.purephotoshop.com/article/118>
The problem that I am having is that I am unable to select certain pixels or blocks and have them colored.
Here are my steps below.
Steps:
1) Open Elements 3.0 Start from Scratch
2) Create New Document: Name, Demo; Height: 10p; Width: 10px; Resolution: 5 px/inch
3) Zoom In as much as possible. Repeated, Control =
4) Edit>Preferences;Guides Grids and Slices and set ‘Gridline every: 2 pixels’ and Subdivisions to 1.
5) View Grid
6) Using the Pencil tool which is set to Size: 1px, Mode: Normal, I hover over the 2px by 2px squares and try to fill in each of the four 1px by 1px blocks. I can’t.
Let’s divide the 2 X 2 into four quadrants, with the upper right quadrant as Q1, and then going clockwise to the upper left as Q4. I can only "color" Q4. I can hover over Q1-Q3, but I am unable to color those quadrants. When I try to color the other quadrants, I usually color Q4 in the block below.
Is anyone else having the same problem? Is there an easy solution? Am I doing something wrong?
I look forward to your suggestions.
Regards,
Kevin
