Of course a perfect storm, the day I upload the wrong video, is the day Comcast decides to do maintenance in my area. After driving a bit, I found some free WiFi at McDonalds, Yea! I guess now that it's fixed, I should go get in line and buy something. Thanks to the subscribers who let me know.

I feel your pain, one day last week my Comcast WiFi was down, as was my ATT WiFi in my vehicle, and the Verison WiFi of my cell phone. Thanks for all your efforts Terry, much appreciated.

Hi Terry, just wanted to add my thanks. I have found this a very useful series and have gained so much from it. Just as an aside, I used to teach university lecturers to teach, they could learn a lot from you. Your teaching style is brilliant - thank you.

Thanks so much for this, Terry. Just the info I need to start hand colouring. This is such a great way to make adjustments. I was doing it the wrong and permanent way before :( I'm almost done binging your series and will look forward to any new videos you post. You've explained layers really well and now I have the tools I need. You've been a great help.

How did you zoom with the rectangular selection tool?

[@tv510]

The zoom tool the way I use it, is I turn of scrubby zoom at the top. Then when on the zoom tool, I simply click and drag a box around what I want to zoom up into. It draws a dotted line box, similar to the marque rectangular selection tool, but since I am the zoom tool, it just zooms to everything inside that box. Give it try and let me now how it works.
