jprine Pillar of the Community United States 1599 Posts	Posted 11/13/2016 7:31 pm I know the answer is here on the forum somewhere, but I have read all the related posts and can't find the answer. I ought to be able to figure it out but I have problems getting the images the same size and which way to rotate/flip the second image. Anyway, can someone point me to the steps here or elsewhere? Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

rmpsrpms Pillar of the Community United States 4038 Posts	Posted 11/14/2016 11:43 pm I don't know how they do standard overlays, but my animated overlays, which I think are much more informative, are pretty easy to do. I use Paint.net, and ezgif.com. If you want to try making one let me know and I'll go through the steps... http://www.macrocoins.com/overlays.html http://nebula.wsimg.com/fff78bf53f1...lloworigin=1 Contact me for photographic equipment or visit my home page at: http://macrocoins.com Edited by rmpsrpms 11/14/2016 11:44 pm Report this Post to the Staff

rmpsrpms Pillar of the Community United States 4038 Posts	Posted 11/15/2016 4:46 pm One area where I don't agree with coop's workflow is in scaling of the image. If you are the one taking the images, then I recommend ensuring they are both taken at the same magnification, and no scaling is performed. This ensures that any differences in position of features are not artificially homogenized between the two images. It also makes the process much easier!

jprine Pillar of the Community United States 1599 Posts	Posted 11/29/2016 5:34 pm mamastinky-I do not. That is another one of those skills I have not attempted yet. By the way, your pick and those old Lincoln woodies are outstanding! Report this Post to the Staff
