Please help me use SAI

Yanovi.. you.. JUST gotta be offline when I most needed you OTL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ANyone have any idea how to select delete in SAI? OTL!!

I use wand tool but UGH soo confusing wth OTL!!
Photoshope makes more sense OTL!!!

I scanned a drawing and wanted to get rid of the white background.
So I use wand tool and select to delete.. but eh,.. al lthe delete button do is shift the angle of the pic

OTL!! orz.. Photoshop is better..

ANyone care to be kind enough to tell me how to use SAI?

this is why Oekaki will always be better OTL!

I agree photoshop does make more sense xD

But you can make Sai sensible too -w- Just change it's settings.

in the tabs bar click Help/Config and set the delete button to... well, I couldn't find the delete command ^^' lol so I just set it to cut, but that works too .x. lol

Hope this helped ¦D

ah thank you OTL!! its soo weird OTL!!!!
I'll try to see if that works too OTL!

EDIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OTL

it doesn't work OTL!!
It just deleted the entire layer rather then teh area I select *sigh* -3

ugh SAI is only good for coloring OTL!!!!!!

Uhm.... don't know if you need this anymore but the short cut for delet is "d", not "delete"...

@Momoka: Ah! Thank you! xD I've been looking for that for a while xD

@America:
This is what I did.


But this is what you SHOULD do : D (Thank you Momoka)


edit edit: Sorry wrong picture last time xD

thank you 8D! you guys !! 8D

MOMO's is teh easiest short cut OTL!!

Yea I did do that Tezuki san xD its jsut diidn't work fo r somereason OTLll

and then I figure out why... its beecause I didn't knw i had to shift the settings of the wand tool a bit =w=;;

thank you both!
I know how to use it now 8D!

(though I got i the answer from yanovi first already OTL)

OTL!! we need more tutorial for SAI D<!!!
*OTL!)

another question... .__.;;

how do we crop OTL

crop?
You mean like Ctrl+x and Ctrl+v?

^to crop, click the select tool, and colour the bit you want to clear and then click something else (like choose paintbrush or sth) and type delete

Ah~~ I used to be so confused about SAI - *actually is still a little confused* but it gets better the more you use it~
Now I find it a lot better than photoshop simply because of its bazillion blending options - giving it a more polished look.

will do a tutorial hopefully when i have time

^
@ akemi
hehe okay

@momo

Yes thank you!
that saves me time xD
(I love my ctrl buttons)

There's also an option underneath <<Canvas>> that says <<Crop/Trim to Selection>> or something similar. That should allow you to crop the picture aka change the image size into a smaller one if you took the marquee/select tool and selected something.

Because you scanned the pic, everything is on the same layer, so you can't select just the white background...

So you should just do the lineart on a seperate layer and just delete the scanned pic.

Did that make sense?...

And yeah, like Variegeta said, to crop, just select what area you want to crop to, and go Canvas >> Trim to Selection

Hope that helps c:
