Scrappydew's Basic Help Guide
Scrappydew.com places this guide out there as a free reference. We put hard work into making sure each step was documented so it would be easy to follow. As you will notice we didn't think of everything that you can possibly do in this program, we have only provided some basic starting steps. This is not a technical manual and it will not tell you what every button will do. The quick guide is task orientated, so with that said if you have a question that should be added in the guide send us an email.
The main goal of this guide is to give you a solid foundation so you may progress and create what you want while getting the desired results. We do change and update the manual often so always check to see what's new. We will never charge money for this guide nor should you have to pay for one.
Feel free to download the manuals and send others here to check it out. You may take this to a copy store and print it out for personal use.
