I am new to this program and having trouble making both a water droplet and a wave - animated water. If someone could help or direct me as to where to find direction, I would me most appreciative! thanks

Hi.

Well - a droplet seems easy to achieve while I´m not understanding your second question. Are you talking about SVG-animation?

Frank, Excellent little tutorial! You should think about making a decent manual for Intaglio? It needs it!!!

April, if you use Frank’s tutorial here, make several images in succession and animate them using Preview.

Thank you for the Droplet info Frank…as for the Wave, I just need it to make a graphic for a T shirt with a wave and some water drops or splashes… I think knowing how to convert arcs to curves actually covers both!  
@ Tom…Thanks! When I am ready for animations I will go to your links!  
Thank you both for reading and replying… I am grateful for this help.
