Using the "white out" filter I found I was able to create this today..this is only about my 3rd repaint so I'm still a newbie..the one thing I'm having a real hard time with is curves, an making them look smooth...any suggestions or comments would be appreciated..

Impressive! Curves and shapes are the bane of my life :( I try a lot of things to get them right, including using huge elipses to erase bits, using warp and distort, all sorts.

What is this 'white out filter'? And was does it do?

You know those paint kits we talked (wrote) about in the other post? You now the ones that only come in a single layer and I couldn't figure out how to actually repaint them without redoing all the details? Well come to find out there's and add-on filter for Photoshop & Paintshop Pro that will actually remove the "white" from the kit leaving all the details behind..works absolutely amazing...I've got it working ni Photoshop but I can't make it work in Paintshop yet but hopefully I will..

you can find the download here:

now if you install it it may cause your paint program to stop working, don't panic it just means you are missing a dll file required to make it work...I don't remembr what the name of the dll is but if anyone needs it I can point you in the right direction to get the answer...
