Hi

At the moment i am repainting a airbus aircraft and i am using paint shop pro8  can anybody tell how do i paint the main fuselage in a paint colour scheme i want without losing the textures like doors windows nuts and bolts , rivets that make up the detail of the plane i have tried many many ways with layers but i just end up covering the whole plane and loose all the detail  :-/

can anybody take the the time to give me a few tips or point me in the right direction


many thanks


Anthony

Anthony,

Have you tried changing the opacity of the layers?

Change it to rougly 70 and see what happens. You should still be able to see the detail underneath the paint.

Thanks

Hey Anthony,
Stratobat has a good idea when changing the opacity of a layer, but that also fades ot the top layer's details.

A very useful feature in itself, but there is a another way that will do the trick.

Since you are using PSP8 and I happen to also, you're in luck. I know my way around the program just a bit.
