Hi Klaus.
Thanks I will experiment with this and see how it goes.

Just throwing ideas around. What I time stamped and made a duplicate of the file when it was first loaded ,and only allowed that time stamped copy to be used till another file was loaded? Can anyone find fault in that method? Hoe would I keep track in the software not to load that file ever again th...

1 time only use = they load it into the stack and use it as much as they like until they load in another image then the old one would be replaced and deleted. But if they had made a copy of the old file they could easily reload it again and again and again, share it etc. I'm probably asking the impo...

Hi again.
Thought I should start a new thread on this as the other image thread was getting quite large.
Can anyone suggest a way to limit a file, (Image), to 1 time only use in a stack? Even if they
user has made a copy of it?

Thank you so much for the examples richmond62. They are brilliant. I'm not sure about the implementation though seeing that the area guide is also used as a slight watermark you don't want people using a slider to make it invisible but if there is a background that loads in of similar tones it will ...

I took a brief look and it seemed to process the bitmap effect a lot faster than I have experienced. I'll take another look in the morning.
Don't worry...I always make a fool of myself It makes you more human

richmond62. Thanks you so much. Maybe this is the reason I am having so much trouble with learning LC. I search and search for solutions and get multiple answers which I experiment with and then I post a thread and find out there is a much easier way to do things? It does make things difficult from ...

Oh thanks [hh]....I had not seen that stack before in the samples?
It looks like an answer is there somewhere

Hi again :) I have been searching the forum for a quick way of processing an image so that it's color slightly changes. It's a transparent .png overlay of guidelines for measurements that sits over the main image area. The lines are a very light blue color but I just realized that if a design is loa...

That stack is fantastic! Can I ask where the processing is done?
Just by naming it as "JPNG" does the file extension refer to a library to process/compress the PNG data?
(Complete beginner questions please forgive).

richmond62. Thanks for the encouragement. I appreciate all your help as well as all the others.
Thanks bogs: Klaus. I also play Bass and sing. For many years mainly jazz but do a lot of covers now.

Hi Jacque. Yes I want to be able to handle the alpha channel separately to the bitmap. This format serves two purposes as it gives my artwork some form of protection from the normal person as well as allow me to swap alpha channels and transfer them between designs, turn them off etc. guess you coul...

Oh...Thank you so much Klaus and HH!!!!!! That works perfectly both methods. You have made my day!
More beginner questions tomorrow then. Have a good all and I will have a good night
