Image editor

[Iron Knight]

Could anyone make a recommendation for a program or tutorial to edit the icons used on the counters and in the combat screen? I have corel draw 15, but I have not the slightest clue how to get it to edit those images. Everytime I try I seem to be unable to change it.

have you disabled the masterfile?

[Iron Knight]

Yep, but I'm talking about taking the fighter image and modifying it by adding an 'E' in the corner for my escort fighter's image.

I just use paint, works fine. Use pink as transparent colour,

[Iron Knight]

How do I save it as transparent? If I just open an image and save it, it loses its transparency.

I would advice using the excellent free paint program called Paint.NET
it has great support for transparency (among others) and most importantly it is easy to use.

best,
Vic

I agree with Vic. Paint.net is a great free graphics program. I used it to make/modify my NATO counters.
