smal house with overhanging upper storey.

This was an attempt to see how hard it would be to make buildings for a village high street, with overhanging upper storeys.

Re: Saving Models with embedded Gifs

Re: Saving Models with embedded Gifs

Hooray, its tiny, but it IS there... Nope, I don't have a Magic Wand tool. The Erase Background does what is says, but it seems that even as a GIF, the image is merged into one layer. If I save it as a PSP image it appears to save with layers intact, and can be recalled into PSP still with transpare...

Re: Saving Models with embedded Gifs

Having got around to reading these postings, I am wondering if this is pointing to the solution to a problem I have been havinbg. I have loaded photos with transparent backgrounds and used them quite happily - blissful ignorance! I'm using Paint Shop Pro X, and it has a tool called background eraser...

Re: 1/400 Thatched cottage

Thanks for the help in uploading the photos. I've been a railway modeller, on and off, for years, mostly in N and Z scales. Lately, I've got interested in Tim Dillon's 1/900 scale, and I have a friend, Leo Berger, in Austria who is producing cast models in N, Z and 1/1250scales. I have one of his 1/...

Re: uploading to photogallery

Hi Shelly,

Thank you.
