Thank you for your reply! Here's a screenshot I took from the XD Tutorial after copying the white text (Finding Beauty...) to the location in the upper right corner of the bounding box.

Thank you to JJMack and D Fosse -- I'm not sure I fully understand this, but I'm trying... What I can say now, however, is that Q does not help in this situation: I currently have two version of my file: The old one that was selected using Color Range and various other tools -- and the new one that is selected using Magic Wand and Lasso only. When I press Q, the two selections look the same; they're both massive orange. But the old selection does simply not 'work', while the new one is perfect. So it seems a bit more complicated than this... ... View more

The problem doesn't occur when I use Magic Wand -- not even if anti-aliasing (and feather) is on. I think the issue may have to do with the fact that the first selection method I used was Color Range. So, I'll start from scratch with the Magic Wand and hope for the best... ... View more

JJMack  wrote A Selection should confine the paint bucket to within the selection.   If you want to fill a selection with a color use fill or the paint bucket tool on a solid color or empty layer.   The Paint bucket tool is a lot like the magic want tool and has similar tool options in the tool option bar,  like opacity tolerance contiguous all  layers.  It changes the color you click on to the foreground color. Click on the white of the eyes change tolerance  click on the background only area within the selection should change. Use paint bucket for something like change the red squares on a chess board to white and confile the change to the chess board area. Thank you JJMack -- but the problem is not really about the Paint bucket: The problem is that any edit I perform on the selected area affects large unselected areas as well. If I drag the selection away, for instance, several unselected parts are removed as well... ... View more

Thank you -- I just tried Mosaic, but the option was greyed out... At any rate, I'm afraid there are too many squares to count.

https://forums.adobe.com/people/Monika+Gause  wrote sebastian2012a   schrieb "Avoid this by working with what you paid for" That's what I do -- I pay for Adobe/Typekit. The potential issue is that Typekit is between you and the foundry that offers the font. Typekit/Adobe has a contract with them that enables them to license the font to you. Imagine that the foundry no longer wants to cooperate with Typekit for some reason, then the font is not available to you. There are stories that this has already happened. It has not happened to me, so I can't comment on it. Therefore some people don't use Typekit fonts in projects they expect to be long-running, such as corporate design or editorial design. For this kind of projects they prefer traditional licensing of fonts. Yes, it all depends on your purpose. I always assume that all the software (and social media for that matter) I use stop working next week, so I'm almost never disappointed. If I were working on a book, I'd pick the most common, portable and widely licensed fonts available. But I'm doing logos at the moment so I'm merely concerned about licensing... ... View more
