POINT AND CLICK

This method comes in handy for wanting to know just where you want to draw or composite an object etc. To get the numbers for drawing a circle on the imploded images in this tute, I used the P&C method. See Example below. See where my mark is? That's where I want to start the circle.
You take that arrow that appears when you are viewing your image and move the arrow to where you want to start your circle. The numbers will appear at the bottom after you click the arrow. First two numbers are what you will use to make a circle. So mine were 54,140 My background is 300x300 so I would go to Draw - use Circle and put in half the bg: 150,150 54,140
For a solid circle I would put the color in Fill Box (this is what we do with the implodes and then matte out). Reason for this is that when you implode, that color that shows up is not easy to matte out so we do a white and use a trim color in the stroke box.
