Problem with canvas texture
I have been devoting most of my time painting in Verve. I have not had a chance to upload any to the gallery. You can see my efforts on Instagram if you like {you do not have to join just click or copy the link to my feed page}

Your program is a great joy to me and allows me to create works that otherwise would be impossible to make. I say this as a abstract painter who made large real abstract paintings of paint on canvas for years.
Verve looks and acts like real paint.
I have encountered a perplexing problem regarding making the material on a layer into a canvas texture. I keep hitting control P but it either just changes Verve to the current color picked, like if I just hit P or nothing.
I thought perhaps the problem was because I made the canvas as large as possible without crashing it. but I also have tried many times with the default version I downloaded without changing the dimensions, and I still can not get it to work.
Do the series of round icons in the bottom right corner have anything to do with it? I have watched all your tutorials and have never seen their function explained. There is another button there that has the options { > + = } I have no idea what they do.
I did manage to make a canvas texture one time I saved that version as a project. How do you remove custom a texture made with surface material. I tried making a new material on a layer into a canvas texture over it but it just disappears when hitting control P only to return when I repeat hitting control P in a attempt to create a fresh surface texture.
Lastly I also tried using the current layer's paint as a mask [shift]+[q] and this does not seem to work either.
I noticed there is a ! exclamation mark next to these procedures in the documentation for the program does this mean there is a problem doing these functions?
Sorry to ramble on so long I guess these functions would be a boon to the type of work I do. So any guidance would be appreciated.
Regardless of these problems which may be unique to myself I give my sincere thanks, and the very best wishes to you and your wonderful program.
