Does exist a quadrichromy CMYB separation in ZB2?
Maybe a useful script ? :)

:) nice use of the stencil and and cool image to :tu:

[kokoro]

was there a quick method to create the stencils ? otherwise i would think just coloring by hand is quicker ... anyway, nice result :)

Along with a host of other tools, stencils are one thing I've never really understood. I've tried to read all quicklinks but don't find much step-by-step. If anybody feels like providing a quick tut on how to use stencils that'd be great. If not, I'll just experiment more.

Hi Zero
Why not play the tuts inside the prog :)

hey zerobio

the v1.55b manual (http://www.pixolator.com/zbc-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=1&t=010736) is still available -- a lot of useful info in there that is still pertinent, including coverage of the Stencil tool [I mention this for anyone who is waiting for the new Z2 manual]

summary:

Alpha palette: select or import a grayscale alpha, then press "make stencil" button

Stencil is now active (Alt-H to toggle on/off)

Stencil palette has an "invert" button if you need it

While stencil is active, hold spacebar to show the "coin controller" -- use the mouse on different areas of the controller ring to move, scale, rotate the stencil

Hope this helps!

Thank you very much Frenchy and Havran!! I will work on this.
