<P> First, SAI includes several tools for creating a selection, but only the rectangular (rubber band) selection tool shows the transformation options . But it does not matter how a selection is initially created, selecting the rectangular selection tool will then show the transformation options which will work fine with it . Effectively the' rectangular selection' tool button (a dotted rectangle in the tool palette) is also the' make transform tools visible' tool button . </P> <P> Second, to apply the transform tools to a selection on a vector layer requires a non-obvious additional step . After creating a raster selection by whatever means, the user must click selection on the menu bar and then click either select points or select strokes from the drop down menu after which the selected points are highlighted and are affected by the transformation tools as expected . Those points remain selected until the menu is opened again and clear selected points is clicked, even if another raster selection is made . Many fairly experienced users assume that the transform tools do not work at all on vector layers . This has been erroneously repeated in some review articles and user provided tutorials around the web, including this Wikipedia article at one point . </P> <P> Some common features that exist in similar software, such as text layers, gradients, and shape tools, are not implemented, as SAI focuses on drawing and painting, while the final composition is often done using another application . SAI displays white and transparency in the same way, which may cause significant display differences when exporting to another program, such as Adobe Photoshop . There is also no printing functionality, but documents can be exported in a range of popular formats, such as . PSD or . BMP files, in addition to the native . SAI format . </P> <P> Because the program does not focus on image editing, the only adjustments present are Brightness / Contrast and Hue / Saturation, and therefore no support of level editing, channel extraction, etc . Users may use another program for more complex editing, but when the image is brought back to SAI, its properties may be changed . </P>
