AndrewDavid Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 You are going to have to be more specific. What don't you know how to do? Layers? Blend Modes? Gradients? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reptillian Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 I think I know of a solution to do exactly that at the code level. Would that work?

ardneh Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 (edited) I've attached a zipped .pdn file. You can download it and look at each layer to see what is involved. BARO MAP 02.zip Edited August 1, 2021 by ardneh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munleyj Posted August 1, 2021 Author Share Posted August 1, 2021 Now, thats exactly what I want. Now. I am not an Artist, how did you do this? I need easy steps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ardneh Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 Make a New Layer above your background image. With the color of your choice draw the outline of the largest area and fill it using the Paint Bucket tool. On the keyboard, press F4. Set the Blend Mode to Multiply. Reduce the Opacity to what looks good to you. Repeat with each smaller area. Use a New Layer each time. ==================================== For the edge effect, for each layer, Magic Wand the transparent section outside of the colored part. Make a New Layer, set to Multiply Blend Mode. Fill the selection with a darker version of the color that you are using. Deselect and apply Gaussian blur. Make the lower layer active and, again, Magic Wand the transparent section outside of the colored part. Make the upper Gaussian blurred layer active and press Delete on the keyboard. Repeat for each filled layer. Adjust the Opacity on all the layers until it looks good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

munleyj Posted August 2, 2021 Author Share Posted August 2, 2021 OK, so, why dont I see the different shadings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ardneh Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 The video showed one single layer. To continue on, make a new layer, and continue with the next smaller sized area, repeating the process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munleyj Posted August 3, 2021 Author Share Posted August 3, 2021 I ntrried what you did. The map shows as background not layer 1. I tried to color and it changed the show picture to blue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ardneh Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 It doesn't matter what the bottom layer is named. What is important is that the map image is the bottom layer and all editing is done on new layers above the map layer. No editing on the map layer itself. If the Paint Bucket fills the entire layer it means that there is a break in the outline. The outline has to be a closed loop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
