I like your layout. I moved a few things (Tool Options after toolbars, since it makes more sense to have the subordinate come second). I think we still need to make mention of the Dialogs here, but just general mention of how they work. The specifics of each dialog will come in following sections. You still have Working with the Canvas above, though you said you thought it should come later. I think it should be briefly described above, more specifically later. -JF | |||

I like your layout. I moved a few things (Tool Options after toolbars, since it makes more sense to have the subordinate come second).
