Web Toolbar


This toolbar shows you what graphic formats you can use on your webpage and what they will look like after you save them.

1-JPEG/JPG
2-GIF
3-PNG(I use this one most often. It doesn't blur any kind of graphic and it loads fairly fast.


Tool Options


This is the tool options box. If you click on the little wrench in the top right-hand corner it lets you choose from the tools.. such as paintbrush, eraser, picture tube, and so on. When you have one of those tools selected; the tool options box lets you customize the way you want to use that tool.


Overview Window


This box gives you an over-all look at your graphic or whatever you happen to be concocting.


Layer Palette


This shows you all the layers you have present. You can even use this to make new layers, delete layers, and change the opacity of certain layers.


Color Palette


This is where you will find your colors! The yellow signifies the foreground color, and the tealy color represents the background color. If you click on the little black arrow and hold it down for a second or two a small menu type thing pops up. If you click on the other things in the menu you can use gradients and patterns. It helps if you just kinda mess around on your own. Soon enough you'll figure out what everything does.

Thanks For Css!
