I've been messing around with creating custom watermark brushes and after reading the Adobe "Help Section",and two other tutorials I still am doing something wrong when it comes to dragging shapes.
I create a new document ..File/New/Blank File.
Press U to bring up the Custom Shape Menu. Choose the shape I want. Press D to set black as the foreground color. Now how do I drag the shape to the blank file? Just clicking and dragging doesn't work, and if I try to use the shape selection tool or the Move tool it closes the shape selection box. Open the box again and the move tool disapears. The ones I've done with just text look great but I want to add shapes. You can hold down the Alt key and type in 0169 on the num pad to add the copyright symbol,do all the others have numbers? I know its something simple I'm not seeing. :confused:
Thanks,
Jeff
