    It took me awhile to find a splash that would work for me, but I did. Nice results.

    I have a problem with this, on my computer it just doesn’t work the way it is described. I also downloaded the cheatsheet, but I encounter the same problem when I go through it step by step:

    1. I open a jpg and remove the color with Enhance>Adjust color>Remove color, that works fine.
    2. Opening the Fill dialog doesn’t work with Shift-Delete … I have to use Shift-Backspace on my Windows7 computer with Elements9 … no problem with that, I just don’t understand why it is not Shift-Delete as described ……
    3. I use Ctrl-L to get the Levels to fine-tune, that works fine.
    4. I try to choose Edit>Define Brush …. but that is grayed out, I cannot choose it from the menu …..

    What am I doing wrong ? I hope someone will help me, it’s quite frustrating to be honest ;)
