Sometimes Research is more fun

[jasonbo]

I love old books an i love maps with those 2 passions is a wealth of information.

Wow thats alot of union soldiers

i read later in 1890 it became a park aptly named confederate park

though i dont have any old topos of that year i can show what i like to do with some towns

This is belton texas about 40 miles north of me

Once i get everything right in the line up it takes shape as a 1888 town

then i can fade it in an out an zoom to see all

I use a registered copy of google earth pro old topo scans firemaps an anything else i can get into my terra drive

its the morph part that has me stumped..i asked a few people about that before and they were like "oh no you need special software that cost huge bucks",i knew a guy that did it for me but lost touch with him he didnt use ne crazy software and i asked him about it...

I'm wondering how exactly you go about making one image transparent so you can see through it when you overlay it on the other.

BTW - for screen shots, just use print screen - that captures whatever is on your monitor to the clipboard. (used w/ alt key cap's just the active window)
