    [​IMG] Here's how you do it:

    *Load the portrait up in Paint
    *Select "Image", then "Invert colours"
    *You have a brand spanking new image! Mwahahahaha!! :D

    Sure, they look a bit ghostly and bright, but I think that's just cool. :D This way you can double the number of portraits you have! :banana:

    Moon Elf, that sounds ... HILARIOUS! :lol: I guess you could do it if you're sick of your old portraits or you're just looking for a change! :p

    Or perhaps you're once nice and bright Paladin became the root of evil and you wanted his newfound attitude to be shown in his portrait! :D

    So you actually want to use THAT kind of portraits?

    Well I guess everybody can have different tastes.

    I think that's what Moony means but yes, she does have different tastes huh! :p

    I think I was going for more of an evil look with bright lights and such because I'm not exactly a fan of the reverse thing that alot of cameras have!

    That's the kind of thing, Drugar. Some look better than others though. Lighter colours to start with make them look evil, darker colours to start with make them look a bit like a ghost. I liked them, anyway. :roll:

    Moon, sometimes you do scare me girl! :D I was just wondering if you'd tried any other effects that would change the portraits? I remember some effects like black & white, invert (yours), stencil, that reddy looking one and then the cartoony looking one but I don't remember the rest. I guess if you used photoshop or something you could get ALOT of different combinations huh. Has anyone done this?

    I've only got the default paint programme, so I can't do any of those other effects you mentioned, $ilvershield. Oh well. :D
