Hiya! Downloaded it last night, imported all my favourite brushes and so far I’m impressed... quick question, though - is it possible to cut/copy/paste a selection? I haven’t been able to find any info on how to do it.

Yes, you can copy/paste a selection... in a roundabout way. Create your selection, and add a mask. Then, copy and paste the whole layer. Finally, if desired, delete the mask from the original layer.

Thanks for this answer! Doesn't it seem like an odd oversight to not offer the thing that people do ALL the time in an app like this? What is Adobe thinking?

After working with the pencil brush I decided to do a complete painting, limiting myself to the oil brushes. It took a while to get a handle with the mixer and opacity settings. I spent a lot of hours on this, but I enjoyed every minute of the process and am happy with the result. I'm working on my second oil painting now, and feeling much more comfortable with the oil paint brushes.

When I first opened Fresco I was a little overwhelmed by all the brush options. I couldn't seem to do anything but play around with everything, scribbling marks on the canvas. So I decided to limit myself to just the pencil and this is what I drew. I love the ability to draw sharp detailed lines, or smudgy marks for shading. It's just like working with a real pencil.
