DPX8 addressed the ‘HiDPI’ problem, but DPX6 did not. The icons look to be the same legacy size on my 5x4 19inch diagonal screen. This allows me to see the sketched lines so I can draw on top of them, but also see the lines and objects that are underneath ^^ To avoid clutter, I usually send the objects beneath the original sketch when I'm done with them, so I can continue to see the lineart clearly. jackneve wrote: It may be irrelevant, but for what its worth, DPX8 opens in my W10 installation with no problem regarding toolbar size. Then with the sketch selected, I go to the transparency bar on the right hand side and turn it down to around 40%. So - I scan all my stuff in at 300dpi, then copy-paste it into Serif as a 'Device indepenent Bitmap'. Now, more often than not, when I draw/colour/animate in Serif, I have a picture sketched out before hand which is to act as a guideline, and is much easier than drawing straight into the program, although not to say the latter won't surprise you sometimes and throw up a good piece of work ^^ Over the years people keep popping up and asking me for Serif tutorials, so I figured I'd stick one on here using some old screenshots I took while doing a pic years back. While I'm aware version 4.0 is outdated, I much prefer using it to the later versions ^^ **This tutorial is for version 4.0 of Serif Drawplus, but should be enough to give people the gist of how later versions work.
