Chapter 4: Picture It! Basics
These three objects are a multiple selection, as indicated by the icon at the bottom of the
selection box. The objects can now be edited as a set and then separated later.
While the objects are a multiple selection, you can use the objects’ object
handles to edit them as a set. You can edit the objects together by using touchup
tools or applying effects. Clicking outside any of the selected objects cancels
the multiple selection, leaving intact any changes you have made to the set.
Grouping objects
To join objects more permanently, you can group them. Grouping works
similarly to multiple selection, although once the objects are grouped, they
appear as a single object on the Stack. You can perform editing tasks simulta-
neously on grouped objects, but if you later ungroup the objects, some effects
that you applied to the group will be undone.
To group objects:
1 Press CTRL, and then select each object in the Stack.
2 On the Edit menu, click Group.
Once objects are grouped, the group icon appears at the bottom of the
selection box.
