This set of tutorials is amazing! Very clear structure, short, logical, straight to the point. 👍

Awesome, I forgot how to drag/pan pictures around. Took me two minutes to find the answer in the tutorials!

Gentile Staff di mental canvas,
Vorrei segnalare la mancanza di tasti a scelta rapida per la versione PC Desktop del Programma.

May I know what are the 3 angles camera does on top left next to MC logo?
Btw this is an amazing software, thank you for your time for the tutorial.

Those are different navigation modes you can use to move/look around your scene in viewing mode

Hi! I love the program! But I just don't know how to copy paste a canvas within the same project. Can you help me? 😊

[@thecavernoverseer]

I need help,I can’t even animate selection mode won’t turn on… and is it I can’t use finger to animate?

[@draketm]

So far I couldn´t resize or rotate selected items using the pen tablet, CTRL or shift keys modifies the whole canvas but not the selected item

[@SamsinarSinar-uc3fx]

Hii, how to resize the canvas?

[@Dmitriy_tatuer]

I did not understand. How to remove layers in the program?

[@MentalCanvas]

If you press and hold on a layer you should see the option to delete

[@insanelyun]

how do you invert a selected layer tho?!

[@MentalCanvas]

The invert tool is mentioned at 01:00 of this video

Uhm I have a question... Why is the Microsoft Windows version like waaaaaaaay worse? It doesn't even have an erase tool. Pls answer this question cause I haven't been able to find anything about it. It would be much appreciated if u guys atleast add an erase tool. Other than that I think I'll be fine. But just saying, the iOS version seems better and I'm in no position to just buy an iPad.

[@MentalCanvas]

The Windows version does not lack any features in comparison to iOS and there is an eraser: typically with Windows pens, the eraser is on the opposite side of the stylus (like a pencil) or it’s a button on the side of the pen. If your pen does not have an eraser you can use the “E” key to toggle between drawing & erasing. You can always email us at [e-mail] if you have questions.
