Can we please have an option to display the toolbox, palette, layers, etc. LARGER/BIGGER? My screen resolution is high, and so all these important boxes (and contents) are really, really tiny on my 15" touch screen!  
  
I like all the canvas space, but I'm getting older and the tools are getting harder to see. If we had two or three size choices for the dockers it would be awesome!   :D
  
PS: Your software has better touch screen/pen response than AI!

Disregard the proposed solution to wish #309, as I had a better (and much simpler) idea of how to accomplish the task, each only requiring two special brushes. Brush 1 will adopt part of selection from one layer (grass from the background layer) and apply it on colored sections of the next layer, but with no painting on transparent pixels. Brush two would do the same thing, but only paint on transparent pixels.
  
Grass could be painted on the forward section of the lions paws, and the other brush could paint the grass directly behind the paws at the right height, allowing the frames to be then positioned and merged like normal to look natural.
  
This should actually be somewhat simple and quite a powerful toolset.

The ability to insert a frame partially into another frame would be nice. Let me explain; Imagine having a background photo of a home with a large yard on frame 1. You load a picture of a lion in the zoo in frame 2 and cut out the lion. You want to insert the lion into the picture of the yard.  
  
PROMBLEM: If you simply merge the two photos, then with any inspection, the lion will appear to be floating on the tips of the grass in the yard.  
  
SOLUTION: Resize layer 2 to fit the picture of the lion. Put 'slits' in Layer one and then slide layer two to where the lions four feet can go behind the grass a little, then merge the two layers.
  
I guess this involves two separate things: 1. Being able to make slits in a layer -- 2. Having a function that will resize and reshape a layer to fit a complex image. It could also be done with a selected image, but it would be impossible to tell where to put the slits without being able to move the layer over the background layer and marking the background first, before applying the slits.
  
I know it is probably asking a lot.

Chasys Draw, latest version; Windows 7 64-bit.
  
How about an installer/program that actually works under 64-bit Windows 7? I have tried to install the program under Win7/64, no luck. I then installed the program in a 32-bit VirtualBox Windows VM and back-copied the portable version to my main machine. However, it is impossible to get this to run.

Hi Paul,
                                
My operating System is Win7 64 Bit 8 GB RAM, Internet Explorer 11.
  
Thanks for Draw Ies Artist ver. 4.38.04 .  
  
I have also installed the latest German language file

Markus is doing a very good job and I am very much in favour with his translation.
  
  
But I do not get rid of this message box popping up each time I start Chasys Draw IES.
  
You may select English or German language ... it pops up.
  
The only way I found to avoid this box, is to disconnect from the Internet, while using Draw IES.
  
Thank you for your help in advance

Website: Please make your text frames a percentage of the available screen instead of fixed width. It is very difficult to read because the fixed frame width causes a horizontal scroll bar to come up at the bottom of frames in order to read the full width. this scroll bar is often well below the bottom of the screen. Not all of us have the pixel width needed for your site. This makes the site mobile functional as well. This is the same on Edge, Internet Explorer, and Chrome.

Hello John Paul,
  
I also have a wish: How about, if the measuring tool would also have the option of showing mm oder cm, instead of only pixels?
I, for one, would find that very useful.

Another thought that would make photographers happy... Automated (scripted) watermark and/or copyright text that's also capable in batch. So if you have 60 photos you select where you want your watermark/text (bottom left/right etc) and the system will process it in batch for each photo that's open in Chasys.

Hi, I LOVE chasys draw! It's my favorite program to use and I'm really impressed with all the features. There may be an option for symmetry already but if so I can't locate it. I have an application on my kindle that allows you to draw anything around a horizontal or vertical symmetrical line and reproduces it. I'd love to see that on chasys. Thank you for a great program!

Hey, I just downloaded the new version and it seems the program has improved loads since the last time I used it.
Some versions before, there were many things not working (at least on my computer - XP, 1.8 GHz, 1GB RAM - as mentioned in another comment below).
But the latest version seems to work very nicely for me. It now has a status, that I will proably make Chasys Draw my default drawing software.  
Nice work!
  
Just two things: I still can´t fill spaces in my picture with colour (I will send you an email with the image I used) and I´d like to know:
Is there a way, that I can make a text field larger? Because I entered some text into the "Composition for print" -> "Enter text here"-field and the text was so long that it exceeded the field space.
I tried to figure out how to change the size of the text field according to the text length, but failed.
  
And a wish: Could you maybe put some tooltips into the text-editing window? That would be a great help.
  
Kind regards  
Hannah Czerny

chasys_draw_ies_4_31_02 behaves strange when I want to save my work.
  
It asks me instead, whether I want to restore saved images.
Independent from yes or no DrawIes crashes afterwards. No work is saved.
  
As a consequence I have reinstalled chasys_draw_ies_4_30_01 on my 64bit Win7 system, this works as normal.
  
Could it be that chasys_draw_ies_4_31_02 does not allow any more the 8BF plugins to be installed in C:\Program Files (x86)? To where do I have to put those plugins in future?
  
Thank you for taking care on DrawIes.

Unfortunately, the Chasys Draw program is totally not working on my computer (XP, 1.8 GHz, 1GB RAM).
  
I tried to crop a picture acoording to my selection, but nothing happened.
And I tried to select pixels via magic wand and delete them, but when I selected the delete command from the menu, also nothing happened. Fillig the space with white colour via paint bucket didn´t work either..
  
And when I press "save", instead of just saving under the same name and location, a dialog box appears, where I have to choose a location.
  
Can anyone help me?
