• Select the level you want to work with in Colour Magic i.e. Yellow.
• Press Ctrl. Alt. Shift and T all at the same time. ( Please do not allow this information to pupils! )
• From the Configuration select e.g. Edit Toolbox. Select from the Select Tool range e.g. Brushes and Solid , useful for simple mark making and to limit access to just this and to remove all the other possibilities, select each tool in turn and 'untick' each box in the Choose Tool Options.
