| 437314 | 2006-03-11 03:08:00 | Hi there. Ive an image of a building occupying the RHside of a 740 by 200 pixel sized photo, white default backgound. Ive another image of a night sky with stary background. I want to overlay the Building atop the stary background. Ive opened the Building, added another layer and pasted in the stary background, when I flatten as one image, all I get is the stary background, no building. Please how do I get where Im going to. Thanks...John in Mosgiel. |

| 437315 | 2006-03-11 03:46:00 | John - you will have to 'select' the building - I suggest using Magic Wand. Then 'invert' - so that you have the background, now delete (that gets rid of all the white stuff). Once you have done that you can move the building onto the stary sky. Adjust with changes to the opacity if necessary. Come back if you have problems! Cheers :) |

| 437316 | 2006-03-11 04:09:00 | Thanks. Ive got rid of the white stuff surrounding the building. that on the background layer, Stary night on layer one, now how do I get the building atop the stars? Thanks :-) |

| 437317 | 2006-03-11 04:53:00 | In the layer tool, just drag the building layer above that of the star layer, click and drag. Voila! (as an aside I have been looking at upgrading from7.4 to 10, but from what I have read 7.4 is the best in terms of development, and everything else after has been just fiddling. ) |

| 437318 | 2006-03-11 07:16:00 | Thanks, thats a craft way of doing it, but it doesnt work . When I try, I get a warning circle with a Rtoleft diagonal through it saying its no go . Thats in the Layer Palette box . Ive got NO opacity on the background (building) layer, thats greyed out, its there on the stary picture on Layer 1 though . Any ideas? Thanks . . . . John . |

| 437319 | 2006-03-11 07:21:00 | Errr its PSP version 5.1, not 7 as I thought... | John W (523) | ||
| 437320 | 2006-03-11 07:23:00 | What... Title bar says its version 7, 1999-2000 help says, in one part 5.1 ???? | John W (523) | ||
| 437321 | 2006-03-11 10:56:00 | John if you have a "background" and a layer, then you need to convert the background to a layer, so you have 2 layers. Just right click on the background and choose "promote to layer" then you are free to move them around. |

| 437322 | 2006-03-11 10:58:00 | another idea, is the background layer 16 million colors? Sometimes you have to increase the color depth to 16mill to get all the tools working. | netchicken (4843) | ||
| 437323 | 2006-03-11 20:10:00 | Well, thats one one step fwd, the background (building) is now a layer . Both images are 16M colour . When I move Layer1 atop Layer2, all it does is shuffle their order about on the Palette box . But the problem remains, cant get the building to sit atop the stary background, without the stars shining through the building . If you go to this site www . ourpage . co . nz/das ( . ourpage . co . nz/das" target="_blank">www . ourpage . co . nz) you can see what Ive come up with, using a combo of PSP & MSPaint . Give me 5 min and I will place the pic of the stary background and the building pic on the same site . Thanks . . . . . . . . . . . . John in Mosgiel . |
