cool thanks seb

well i have valid reasons

yeh its called too much pool

i will change

ask ang mate i'll leave it upto her

she ignores me

well shes the boss haha

been trying different pic editors, only one i found what handles layers is gimp

just mess around with colour balance and brightness/contrast james its all i do, and just use colourize to make them all diff

its not that its just like when i do an alpha script i think it is, when i do it comes up on a new window then i have trouble transferring it over onto pic im working on.

and also when you want to load a pic up from say fireworks.

well cant u save it from fireworks then open it up as a layer?

i never use alpha, so i cant go wrong there

far as i remember you need to save it in a certain format to show in gimp correctly, can't remember what its called though.

gif or gpeg work

ill re download it and open Snooker Squad image ab did in fireworks and UT pic viruoso1978 did for me from paint.net

tried both and only opened in a single layer.

not sure then mate works fine for me *confused smiley*

was pics you opened made in gimp?

ones i opened wasn't so might be why.

no mate, ie why im confused

okies, i tried open and open as layers after gimp loaded.

nevermind
