Need help. I want to manually edit my downloaded bitmaps with Photoshop. I would like to delete certain parts, but HOW can I do that? I did
following:
1) I opened the .bmp with Photoshop.
2) Then I saved it as .TIFF and close the bmp-file
3) Then I open the new saved .tiff file and add a new layer (alpha mask).
4) Now I can draw/fill/delete my areas of desire. Black=Water, White=Land. When finished I save the .TIFF again.
5.) Then I open the .inf file, and change the information to
Layer = Imagery
Type = tiff
and of course adjust to the correct new filename (.tiff).
6.) I manually start the resample-Tool and the .bgl is created
When I open this scenery in FSX, I am getting WATER at the black drawn area. But: I wanted this area just do be not visible, so the default
FSX scenery will appear under it.
How can I do that????
