wayfinder Posted July 15, 2021 Report Share Posted July 15, 2021 Hi All, I'm not newbie (lol) but I've forgotten how to do reel overlays for DX layouts! I mean in the way you cut out the reel box then put the reel itself behind it. Any help would be great. Cheers Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amusements Posted July 15, 2021 Report Share Posted July 15, 2021 If I remember rightly.... Right click over the reel in edit mode [Create Overlay] Click reel Properties/Overlay and then click Transparency - set from cursor position and apply. Something like that anyway.

Cheers Simon Firstly you take your on/off image cut around the reel windows using the lasso tool in photoshop I normally fill them in black as it seams to work better than the bright green we used to use then. Via mfme resize the reel / bands to fit the windows then create overlay transparent something like that not on lappy atm so can’t be 100% correct on that score Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will have a go later. Anyway, thanks @vectra666 and @Amusements for your help. I will report back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
