Title: Paint Shop Pro Help
Post by: ukatlantic on February 25, 2009, 11:59:46 AM
Guys,

I have Paint Shop Pro X2 and have some templates of aircraft that I would like to repaint.  However, can anyone tell me how to 'layer' the images so I can repaint the template so for example I want the wing tips and the engines painted but I want be be able to see the technical detail. See the attachment as this is what happens when I paint the image at the moment - I want to be able to paint the image without it completely covering up as it has as in the attachement.  Any help would be so much appreciated. Thanks

Hmm thats the thing about these templates they are not in layers... i suppose you could cut the lines out and apply them over the top of the paint... or even transparency, ALTHOUGH I'm not a paint shop expert... Used to photoshop.

Thanks Sami,

I have used the templates you provided, but I'd like to do a couple of different aircraft types from other images I have downloaded, just cant find out how I get the layers to all come together to enable me to paint without having the issues like I have shown in the image that was attached  :-\

Have you tried Googling it?

Paintshop is widely used im sure there will be many free tutorials on the net somewhere!

It's rather hard to add layers to the image afterwards ... Or not THAT hard .. but hard to do it well.
