The black parts are the part of the logo that's used. They are embossed.
The white parts are transparent/clear.

I see... Didn't think that was the case, but ok...
Maybe then something like the B&W tux way up above in this thread could be used to give the illusion of greyscale once it's on the logo...?

For one thing, you need to make it smaller so that the whole penguin shows up. Just leave more white space around the edge in the original.

I'm waiting for the next or final version to see how much cropping/overscan there is. Then I will produce a template that people can use.

Yeah, I noticed that, but I figured my image was just too close to the edges of the page... I guess I was right.

Make a second attempt, Pat. Your first isn't showing...
Thanks to Morgan, Tiny Snapshots is up and running again with "Tiny Järvafält" as the latest addition – Go have a look and tell me what you think.

I love it. Well done Pat. I have a feeling that GreenHSiF and Seafoam and a few others will love it too!

Since Eva like to saying she's a fish from time to time(one of the word in her Chinese name also sound fish in chinese, so she like to call herself fish!!), so I made this for her,
PS. I craft it from PhotoCanvas v1.1 which came with ACDSee v4.0, i don't have the MAL beta though...

James, yours should have a heart with the words "James loves Eva" in it, or something like that.

Thanks everyone, since I don't have beta MAL, I use it in AqauReal's background, and the effect looks cool too, except the fish won't swim behind it. Then I show Eva, she's soooooooooo surprised and keep saying "How did you do that? whoa~~ How did you do that? whoa~~ How did you do that?"
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I like to know why is it an insult if calling girl a fish in USA? is there any story behind? I wanna tell Eva about it, just to warn her not to bring the same habit to friend in USA...haha.. Eva's chinese name has three words, and the last word pronounce exactly the same as fish in chinese, just two different characters. And in Asian, many ppl like to call their fr with a nickname composed from thier original name and the way they called is add a world "little" in front of it, so when I call Eva "Little Yu" sounds exactly the same as "Little Fish" in Chinese and she likes it, always claims she's a fish..!!! Hey Cliff, That hose head looks very similar like the logo of my college.... ![]()
