Do you have Adobe Acrobat or Macromedia Fireworks? These are NOT freeware or
shareware programs, but can get a trial version of Macromedia Fireworks to use
for 30 days by going to the Macromedia Website.
Macromedia Fireworks is a graphical software application (think MS Paint but on
SUPER STERIODS). In any case with Fireworks, I have several basic templates
that I have created and then just import my BI images.
You can see my work here:

and

What you want to do is use the LAYERS feature of both Photoshop and Fireworks
for each item in your background to have the abilty to move them around. I tend
to use Fireworks more for my layouts and use Photoshop to clean up some of the
BI images. The process is very time consuming but once you have your template
layout the going is easy.

| Ahui Herrera- The only program I have is Adobe Photoshop. Now when you are talking about creating the steps, do you save each individual MLCad step as a seperate entity so it can be set against Photoshop? If not, then what? (20 years ago, 24-Jan-05, to lugnet.cad)
