Thanks Neil.. The outline was blue.. but I thought it to dark, so lightened it up.. way to much I am guessing It's all a learning process!!!

And really it IS a tree..

Yep. I saw the tree.... first. Then.... well.... It just morphed into the nuke. In my mind I mean.

Yeah - I knew what you meant.... just I can hear it all going on while you're trying crop the pic and also trying not to yell about that! Heh. It would never have occurred to me that you meant phone sex....

I remember the old days when phone sex could totally redefine the term "party line"...

and "risqué behavior" was convincing someone to sit on a copy machine... then sending out a fax... ;)

OK. so.. the "horse" picture has some issues, in that what you see is almost what you get.. no legs , but the position was perfect.. to match the girls position.

Thank you...

I'm getting better at some things... or at least, they are working the way I think they should and that is helping alot. <sigh> I had something the other day, that I want to try and redo, but I have not managed it.. more's the pity, cause it looked really neat, but it was a layer, not the full picture.

There must be a way to save layers as themselves though?

I'll have to look into that.. be nice, cause some of the layers are worth keeping and using for other things.

Like just that truck, with the flames would have been nice to keep, then I might have added something else as a background. Technically i could do that, but lose all the other layers, which would also be a bummer for the picture that's being worked on.. I'll have to see, I don't know all the features and functions yet!

Ah... that is a simple recolor, so I have the picture.. used the same one with the Eagle and motorcycle.. That one is just two layers, so that the bottom is original and the top was a recolor.

The one above, I wanted to look more like an "old" picture.. almost sepia but with a pop of color for the truck.

Edit: looking at it now, I don't like the "glow".. nor the color on the tires..

Michael want's the same thing, but a Semi.. and old Pete, with the double stacks.. but a little different.. I'll have to find a free to use "Semi" that is at an angle that I like.. that is the hard part.. the best pictures are "pay".. and I don't want to do that while I am still learning.


Which btw is why my Centaur pic isn't really good perspective wise and the horse could use the rest of his body! Soooo I'm stuck with what I can find on the "free" to use sites.

There I was, tooling along in my Prius, when Satan himself appeared in the road in front of me. With a smile he handed me the keys to the coolest truck I'd ever seen, and said "It's all yours son... all you have to do is go out and find a few demons who escaped from hell and use this truck to drag their asses home..."

Seriously cool, Areial!

BTW, I think to save a layer you have to open another window (new instance of GIMP) and copy and paste your layer. Then if needed turn it into your base layer and save it. You might have to mess with it's properties later on to use it as a layer, like transparency and such, but that's just a bit of a bother compared to remaking it.

At least that's the way it used to be done. May be that's changed though...

Oh, I like that! Hmm. I wonder if I still have that WAY COOL graphic around from a very long time ago.... *scurries off to look* - yup! Gotta love being a packrat....

This was a made from a free web graphic I grabbed back in the late 90s.

I cut it down from the original large bar
