Help!!
« on: July 14, 2008, 01:08:49 PM »
Can someone do this nose art for me? I've spent 4 hours on it and can't get it to look right.  :furious I have trouble with the 176 color and can't get the gray part to not show up on my plane. Can someone please take this image and make into a nice nose art as a favor?

Looks great!  I get a hit and miss on the 176 color myself.  If anyone has an answer to why 176 is transparent sometimes and not others please help.

I think its a conversion issue. When switching from hi color down to 256 it changes the color that little bit. What I do is search through your "squad" folder in the HTC folder and find a squad logo that has the same colors as yours. Then I erase the old picture, paste the new one, and save under a new name. When you erase, make sure to use the transparent color they had used.

Pure white is transparent as nose art. Go to custom colors in MS paint (The easiest way) and darken white just a LITTLE. Then use that white to replace all of the other white.
