>> I followed your instructions to the letter and it didn't help. Aaargh! When I dbl-click the forth point with the polygon tool the diver just DOES NOT go away! He just stays there – laughing at me! << i checked the c0 version and it does work. <gmake sure that the properties has all positional toggles off EXCEPT Autoreset. make sure to apply the polygon tool TWICE after the Autoreset setting has been set. TWICE. all 4 points. >> I haven't rec'v'd the c1 upgrade yet so I guess I have to reserve judgement until then but I'll tell ya – it's a good thing I don't have a window in my office…. << learning curves and initial glitches can be frustrating. the product is still extremely young, as is the learning curve period. let me know if two applications (with no UNDO) does the trick. -dave

I tried it MUCH more than twice! I really don't think it's a learning curve problem. I've been using advanced graphics software for the better part of ten years now. There HAS to be some kind of conflict.

I've been in computer support for quite a few years and know what it's like to run across a problem that makes no sense. I just want to make sure that you understand MY dilemma. I more than appreciate the help you have already given and will look forward to any more you can provide. Believe me – i don't enjoy buggin you about this….

>i do indeed. 🙂 if you haven't received a response by tomorrow from Nik, >let me know. I will certainly let you know. In the mean time I'm going to try to bypass the clone ink problem and get on with the program. Wish me luck!

I'm seeing the same problem with the software in a beta version, but I suspect I'm not supposed to talk about it. John

>I'm seeing the same problem with the software in a beta version, but I >suspect I'm not supposed to talk about it. Well, I think you can safely talk about it now! It's out. Did you ever get a work around?

They sent me mail and told me that this particular excercise in the tutorial is sensitive to the "source" location of the ink. I believe the suggestion was to make the initial point "about an inch" below the divers feet. Clearly they are working at a different resolution than I am (the whole image isn't much more than an inch), but I'll take the general suggestion and try again. However, I'm pretty baffled. I've used clone ink on several packages and it seems pretty straightforward. No idea why the example wouldn't work the first time. John
