Superbowl XL

Very nice textures Dave. Which graphics editor did you use?

I use Serif's PhotoPlus 10 - which also reads PSP format - much less complex than Adobe PaintShop - and has probable more options - and a lot cheaper.

Very cool paint job. It's estimated that world wide there will be 1 billion watching the game.

Thanks. Wasn't aware that PhotoPlus 10 could produce such nice, shiny textures.

Another one Masterpiece from great Mr. Dave C.

Believe that most good quality photo editors can produce same effects - all tied up with the Alpha layer and it's manipulation - mostly the old 'trial and error' method which is the norm for repainting - fairly complex process to explain but it works - most of the time 🙄

Ahhh.. ...the Alpha layer and it's manipulation - thanks for the info Dave.

It seemed like a nice turn of phrase to use for a can of worms😂
In most of the tutorials I've read, the instructions are difficult to follow - I am a sort of DIY man, hence the trial and error method suits me fine.
I remember the first time I successfully got a metallic/reflective/shiny surface to work - I had gone through so many steps that I forgot most of the process . But I am improving, I remembered half the process when I painted the Superbowl XL. Another 50 or so shiny paints and I'll have it off pat - who let that Irishman in here 😉 !!!
