Hi There,
I got up to part 12, but i can’t get the pic to go into the circle, in fact i get the pic, cuz when i do select a photo, the circle disappears and all i have in front of me is the pic, and when i press cntrl+click nothing happens, can you help me, or tell me what i am doing wrong, and where does my ball go? help! will wait for a response…..thank you
If the circle keeps disappearing, go to Edit>Undo Deselect… Sometimes this will return to the previously selected selection… :0) hth.
