Practising Paintshop/GIMP...

[Marcel]

if you deserve it, you get enough. Most of us are quite willing to help you as you usually post nice challenges.

A german a/c for a change...

AWESOME Marcel! 8) Wonder what it would look like with the Luftwaffe flag...etc? Would love to see more variants on this one mate...top notch!

Thanks Lucky and good idea. I was indeed planning on trying different backgrounds. would you happen to have a version of the flag with a high resolution (minimal 800 by 600?)
But first I'm still struggling with the shadow. Not quite there, yet.

 

[Lucky13]

Only found this one....maybe someone else have some more and better....

 

[Marcel]

Thanks, used it to make some quick variations. The flag only would be better IMO, but I only found a 200x150 res

 

[Lucky13]

Nice going Marcel...! 8)

 

[Lucky13]

Here's another couple of Dora's for you to play with....8)

 

[Marcel]

Thanks Lucky, but I think I'll use those in another composition.
Last variant for now...

Nice work Marcel! Here's a larger version of the Ta-152....

 

[Marcel]

Hi Lucky, Thanks for the pic. Here's my version with your Ta152

 

[GrauGeist]

Nice!

I like that 3D effect!

 

[Gnomey]

3D effect is excellent!

 

[Lucky13]

Crikey! Excellent work mate! Keep 'em coming! 8)

 

[Marcel]

I experimented with making new prob blades as well. Had to remove the original ones when removing the background. Obviously this works quite well.

 

[Marcel]

Okay, to make things even, one with the BoB/Blitz as subject.

Heres a question:

How do you make two pics blend at the edges if you are joining them?

as an example -

 

[Marcel]

In this case, I think Thor made them transparent, so where they overlap, they blend. You're using GIMP? Does that have layers and mask layers? If that's the case, I'll give you a demonstration how it's done in Paintshop, so you can try to do the same in you program.
