Hi all… maybe someone smarter then me can answer how I do this. I want to make a custom graphic for my website. I have the basic graphic and I have duplicated it, and each time changed the color via filter to get a slightly different one. Now the hard part. I want to take these and layer them one on top of the other so that it gives a blured image effect, like it moved really fast and there is more then one actually there (thus the different colors). like stacking card in your hand while playing poker I tried using the layers feature in my paint program, but it did not show all the objects once I had them merged. Any ideas? |

What paint program are you using?
I know that can be done in Photoshop… |

You might be better using something like (don't laugh) GIMP – it's a free image editing package and should be able to give you the right effect. gimp.org It sounds like you'll need to give your image a transparent background too, to be able to see all the layers once they're merged. |

Give it over here, and I'll beat it into submission. I've got Photoshop and I'm not afraid to use it. Wyatt

Dooh! your right the backgrounds are not transparent. I don't do enough of this stuff to remember how to do it properly… Thanks Wyatt I'll pass them on to you… Jim |
