Newbie: Creating Arrows & Boxes, Merging Images

[jdanniel]

Thank you for replying.

Rich, I did download and install that script.  I need help with it.  When I go into Tools/Arrow, and the Arrow dialog box appears, I am not sure what to adjust.

Let's start off with something basic.  How do I set that dialog box to get the absolute thinnest arrow shaft possible, and how do I set it to have a thin arrow head?  Everything I tried so far results is a big blotch that covers the entire image.

Would it be possible for you (or anyone else reading this) to just steer me in the right direction?

Let me tell you what I've done so far.

1.  Open a test image.
2.  Go into Paths tool.
3.  Set a starting point and then a closing point, so there are now two points in the test image.
4.  Go into Tools/Arrow.

Here's where I get lost.  I don't know what length of wings means.  And I'm not sure what to set.  Here's what I get:

And...regarding the side-by-side images. I watched the video, and I'm probably going to have to watch it several times more, pausing each step.

I haven't figured out how to shrink an image yet. Will work on that.
