tinted clouds

Post #1by billybob884 » 17.08.2002, 00:55

Does anyone have any slightly tinted versions of the earth-cloud.png file? I dont mean tinted so you cant see the surface of the planet, just so it loks like the clouds have a slight tint of blue, green, red, orange, blackish-purple, or pink. Thanks a lot!

Well, I kind of dont have it. I've already tried a similier type of program, but (correct me if i'm worng) the cloud textures work backwards. only the white parts show up as clouds, the dark spots show as clear. so when you try to tint it, the dark spots change color, making them not transparent anymore, while the clear spots stay the same.

Download the 30 day demo of PSP 7! It works for what you want to do! I have done it before!

Commander David :

Those clouds look really nice and fluffy, but they spoil the colours of the Earth - it looks washed out. Africa is much too green.

Yeah, It does make the earth a little to green. It kinda looks weird.

I triend it, but I couldnt figure out how to use it, and it messed up my computer, so now I cant open .png files with internet explorer. it just flashes a download window for about 1/2 a second. os now i cant edit .png's so i uninstalled it (i still have the install file).
