How to Set up and work with a Split Screen By Hooty aka Doyle Allen Learn to use the Split Screen HERE for the movie tutorial to see it explained in action. I think it is easier to understand but it is about 5 megs so those on dial up may prefer this tutorial in text on this page.
This is what a split screen set up looks like when I work on tut's that allow it. The PSP screen on one side and the Tutorial on the other side!
Basically what you do is open up your PSP and move your graphic and/or canvas to the left. 1 Make graphics smaller by tapping on the - sign on your number pad on the right of your keyboard. (+) to enlarge.
You need them smaller so you can still see them with the PSP narrowed as is seen in the capture shot above.
2 Minimize your screen by clicking on the Double Square icon Left of the X in the upper right of your screen.
3 You will notice that if you move your cursor to the very edge of the outside border your cursor will change to a double arrow.
4 When you see this, left click and drag toward the center and you can make it smaller or thinner, taller or shorter!
5 If you need to have it big or normal size just double click on the top border and zip there you go.
6 To put it back to the half screen size double click again and zip, it goes right back like you had it.
7 Once you have one set up then open up the other thing that you will be working with and do it the same way. In this case it might be the Hooty-tut.
8 You may have to switch sides with the two programs that you are working with to make the most of your work area. In other words you might want your tutorial showing on the left or fight side of your PSP screen. Which ever way gives you the most exposure of what you need to see. -----------------------------------------------------------------
My Hooty-Tuts are Narrow tuts, which is nice because you don't have to take up 3/4 or so of the full screen view to see it all! When you use other peoples tuts you will notice that some of them will not work as well because they make them so wide that they are really hard to use as a split screen to work with! Hope this clears it up! I use this method to work on so many things. I know this is a lot of information to throw at you at one time. Once you understand there is really not that much to it and is so convenient and saves you money by not having to print out everything ie ink,paper and wear and tear on your poor printer! Stop making mountains of paper piles around your work area! After you do it this way about 10 times in a row I bet you never go back to the stacks of paper again if you don't have to. It's what ever you get used to! Learn to use the Split Screen HERE for the movie tutorial *************************************** Hope you enjoyed this Tutorial. So many people do not have a clue how to work this way on their computers! *************************************** |
