Rug Tutorial: Page 4

  1. OK, so now we have to break up the rug into the six peices again and copy them back over the sprites. First go to the layer options for the new rug in the Big Window and reduce the opacity to 0% so that the new rug becomes invisible.



  1. Go back to one of your old rug sprites (remember them?). Your rug peice should still be selected from before. If not reselect just the rug without the yellow background. Choose "Copy" again from the command menu, and Paste it (not Paste Into - just Paste) the Big Window.
  2. Align the peice right on top of the original peice that matches it. (This is why I reduce the opacity, so that I can make sure to align the peice perfectly.) Again, this is the time to increase to 250% view to make sure you have an exact match.
  3. Once the peice is placed right on top of the old one, use the magic wand again to click anywhere outside the peice on that layer (should be layer 2 at this point). Choose Select: Inverse again to select only that peice of rug.
  4. Then go select Layer 1 (the one with the new rug on it.) and choose Edit: Copy. Even though you can't see it, you now have the peice of the new rug exactly sized to the peice of the old one on your clipboard.
  5. Go back to the sprite window of the one you just copied and select Edit: Paste. If the peice of rug is still selected, the new one will even be exactly in the right place too.
