Bethlehem – Mene-Mene

Mene-Mene Member Posts: 1398 From: Fort Wayne, IN, USA Registered: 10-23-2006	Alright, I've been waiting on 2 friends looking for a Bethlehem image that I can mess with and use in my game. I plan on selling this game for profit, so I want to do this right. One of them has found something, but isn't very skilled in use of the computer so doesn't know how to get the image to her computer. I need a good picture of old/new bethlehem. I plan on shading this purple, and using that as the background for the game menu's. ------------------ MM out- Thought travels much faster than sound, it is better to think something twice, and say it once, than to think something once, and have to say it twice.

There is no way that stretching that would make it look realistic, It looks nice, but isn't going to cut it. Would gimpshop be able to create a purple shade to that? I know Kodak Easyshare can create any color shade you just have to figure out how. Its not very easy either. ------------------ MM out- Thought travels much faster than sound, it is better to think something twice, and say it once, than to think something once, and have to say it twice.

I've found this picture, but don't know what to do as for getting permissions. BTW, I'm not that good of a photographer. Edit: Arg! I just found it wasn't a good size. here's another one. ------------------ MM out- Thought travels much faster than sound, it is better to think something twice, and say it once, than to think something once, and have to say it twice.

To change color in GIMP you can: 1. Create a new layer, fill it with a color, and apply one of the modes to it (screen, color, overlay, lighten, value, etc) 2. Layer > Color > Colorize 3. Layer > Color > Hue-Saturation You can get to same location of Layer > Color by instead going Tools > Color Tools. It's been years since I used photoshop but I am positive there are similar functions w/ similar names. Color Balance is also a term that might be used.
