Hello,
First of all I would like to congratulate you on an excellent time saver application.
I am trying to select a letter that has a color very similar to the background. I cannot get it to select right no matter where I click on the letter.
Is there a way to select such letters or gradient text?
Thank you,
Mike

Hello Mike,

Thank you for your kind words.

To select letters that blend with the background, you can use the following options:

1. Change the Tolerance Letter Selection Tool to a lower level from e.g. 32 (the default) to 10 or lower. This can be modified either in preferences or by click and hold the mouse button on Letter Selection Tool.
2. If after lowering the tolerance, the letter selection tool selects only part of a letter, you can hold-down the Shift or Control key and click on the parts of the letter to append more selections to the current letter until all main parts of the letter are selected.

Let me know if this works for you.
