Re: Pet Peeve of the Day
Why is it that "Help" screens in software frequently don't?
In this instance, a photoediting program called Paint.net, which is a freebie which kinda takes the place of MS-Paint on XP. I'm not usually excessively stupid, but trying to figure out how to add one layered image on top of another is driving me crazy, and the "Help" pages are borderline useless. The authors assumed a basic competence level that the newbie doesn't necessarily have.
Grrrr. Anybody got any tips?
