Mac:  Selecting this option means you will always see the origi- nal object when you drag and resize. When dragging, if you pause after pressing the mouse button before you begin dragging, you will see the object (with ink and stroke attributes) follow the pointer. If you begin dragging without pausing, you will see an outline of the object (without pen ink, fill ink, or stroke) follow the pointer. When duplicating objects offset Tells Canvas how far (in pixels) from the original to put object copies when you use the Duplicate or Paste commands in the Edit menu. When moving objects offset You can specify the number of pix- els that objects move when you use a combination of modifier and arrow keys. For example, with the settings shown here (for Win- dows), Ctrl+Right Arrow moves a selected object 50 pixels to the right, and Alt+Right Arrow moves it 10 pixels to the right. Canvas for Mac OS users can use the Command and Option keys in combi- nation with arrow keys. Auto-scroll to selection keeps objects that you move using the arrow keys in view by scrolling the document window. Painting preferences The Painting tab lets you set preferences for displaying and editing paint objects and images. Color Channels Makes channel previews in the Image Channels palette appear in color rather than shades of gray. Anti-aliased Clipboard Anti-aliases vector and text objects pasted from the Clipboard into a paint object. Anti-aliased Canvas Objects Anti-aliases Canvas vector and text objects drawn in a paint object. For example, if you add text to a paint object in edit mode, Canvas rasterizes and anti-aliases the text. Plug-ins Click the button to set the location of Photoshop-compati- ble plug-ins for use in Canvas. In the directory dialog box that appears, select the folder containing the plug-ins. The path name of the folder appears below the Plug-ins button on the Painting tab. Installed plug-in filters appear in the Image > Filters submenu. Don’t Show Plug-in Host Warning Suppresses the message that Canvas displays if it tries to load a software plug-in that requires a specific host program. Deselect this option if you want Canvas to dis- play the message so you can choose whether to load the plug-in.
