I was looking at some pictures of mid-18th century highland infantry over breakfast today, converting them into templates in my mind... (Sounds like a late '60s song.) ;-)<BR/><BR/>For Stokes - I use two vector drawing programs, the freeware Inkscape and the payware Xara Xtreme for the templates (each has various strengths and weaknesses!); from them I can convert to PNG, which I can then process in the freeware Irfanview (increasing/decreasing colours, adding palettes, etc.). I also often use Paint just to fiddle with them to see how they'll look coloured. Paint is also occasionally useful for cleaning up stray pixels and so on.<BR/><BR/>Arthur, I'll email you via your blog to discuss what you might do.<BR/><BR/>David.David Morfitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09016926084467625584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133987073420297016.post-53217555393956975512007-07-05T17:56:00.000+00:002007-07-05T17:56:00.000+00:00While I've got quite a set of plans for my and my ...While I've got quite a set of plans for my and my wife's growing armies,I'd be wondering how I could set up a set of templates, colored in, and listed in a special entry into my own blog for Frankszonia? <BR/>ArthurFrankfurterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18155625152395130957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133987073420297016.post-9734266054858985972007-07-05T17:24:00.000+00:002007-07-05T17:24:00.000+00:00Yes, David, your wonderful templates are extremely...Yes, David, your wonderful templates are extremely valuable not only for those of us with imaginary armies -- but also for those who are trying to decide which units to paint from historical armies as well.<BR/><BR/>And I know that eventually (this is no rush) you will get around to some Grenzers . . . at least certainly before you do Highlanders.<BR/><BR/>Take some time to enjoy your summer knowing that many people are very happy with you for your lovely templates.<BR/><BR/><BR/>-- JeffBluebear Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07595975572873838050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133987073420297016.post-53037506957878627172007-07-05T12:59:00.000+00:002007-07-05T12:59:00.000+00:00Hi there David,Well, as prolific as you have been ...Hi there David,<BR/><BR/>Well, as prolific as you have been the last few weeks, I'd say you're entitled to a few slow days. It's summertime after all. By the way, I may have missed this information previously. If so, please ignore my question. What program(s) do you use when you create your templates? Just curious. <BR/><BR/>Best Regards,<BR/><BR/>Stokes SchwartzWSTKS-FM Worldwidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14173042438761572040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133987073420297016.post-71456096418409599642007-07-05T11:02:00.000+00:002007-07-05T11:02:00.000+00:00David,Applicable or not, your work is extremely us...David,<BR/><BR/>Applicable or not, your work is extremely useful.
