Overlapping layers
Hi all I'm trying to design a website from scratch for a friend and I'm working now on a header logo image and am having troubles. what i want to do is one image combining three... TX flag on one side animals on the other w/ the state seal in the center where the two meet. It just has been so long sice I've used PSP X for anything other than editing photos and can't find anything in the help menu. Can anyone help me??? Thanks in advance!!

Re: Overlapping layers
You will need to put each object on seperate layers.
Have a look at the help files on Transparency and Blends, which should point you in the right direction. (Much easier to do this in Xara Xtreme though). :)
Xara Xample attached.
Saludos,

Re: Overlapping layers
Thanks iamtheblues! I think what my main problem is getting the side by side images. how do I open an image with a big enough background to fit two side by side images, instead of just one image directly over the other?

Re: Overlapping layers
I have a .pdf file which will guide you through the steps to get what you want. I tried to find the site to link to it, but it seems to have gone out of business.
So I'll attach the version that I made from visiting the site way back when.

Re: Overlapping layers
Well, I've been experimenting with layers, blend modes and transparencies, and I have managed a result of sorts.
I have attached the Paintshop Pro file (.psp - zipped) so you can examine the layers and see how I got my version.
I redrew the Longhorn pic I found, and made a new Texas flag. All the component parts are .png files, which have alpha transparency.
These are also zipped as 1 file for you to use as you wish.
Finally a link to the tutorial I found to be most helpful. (I'm not that experienced with PSP, but doing this helped me a lot.)
If you run into any problems, I'll do my best to talk you through it.
Saludos,
Bob.
