I had a mess about with standard windows paint to modfy few player icons, but after i did i realised i lose the GIF background transparency.


How do i get round it?

I think some people use GIMP.

I tend to leave this stuff to the pro's out there, as I draw the way I play......crap! Embarassed

Microsoft Photo Editor is probably decent enough to begin with. GIMP is a free heavy duty editor and that's the one I like to use.

But of course you need to pay for that. Wink

Photoshop is rather nice ... but also rather expensive. I'd probably use it if i could afford to own it Wink
Instead, i've been using psp for quite a while - you still have to pay for it, but it's not quite so expensive.

The GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program) rocks, has an easy windows installer and online tutes. Think of it as photoshop without the price tag.

I use Paint and Photo Editor to modify player icons, whatever I have more on hand.

..and then pry for it to work. Crose your fingers and all.

1. I attempted to install GIMP but it said I needed the runtime environment, i believe? Is that right?

2. Also, anyone have a link to a free calculator accessory?

Thanks.

1. You need to install the GTK+ library first, also downloadable from gimp.org

2. start->run->calc

I opened this expecting to say "EditPlus 2", but well.. I guess "Gimp" is more appropriate.

Hehe i was messing around with this quite a while back and now one of my elf blitzers has a pink background when standing still ....its actually quite useful as it helps identify him....(although at the moment its moot as every time i buy a new blitzer it dies horribly horribly....)

Taking into account this guy is a photographer, I believe what he says.


Personally, I used GIMP, and the Photoshop (when we got it).
