Hi guys,

Just downloaded the trial version and having a play.

want to superimpose 2 technical images onto each other to create the final image.

Both images are basically fluorescent green on a black background, I would upload them but they are copyrighted. :(

Help please? Thanks in advance.

I would suggest Photoshop or even GIMP for something like this. Illustrator really doesn't handle meshing images together very well.

And I have neither. :(

Can't cope with GIMP nor afford photoshop. Illustrator with education discount is what I can just cope with.

Might see if I can do it in Graphic converter. Thanks for the speedy response.

You can also download the trial for Photoshop, just as you did for Illustrator. :black:

Thanks! Just did that.

Can anyone tell me the simplest way to do it in photoshop? I'm going to purchase the software (found a great deal for the student version on amazon)

I assume it's making one layer transparent while keeping the other one would be easiest?

Hard to tell without seeing the image, but keeping one layer transparent will make it invisible :)

Try magic wanding the part that you want overlay, cutting and pasting.
