Image Magic Pink's Hallo Bars We are going to make backdrops using the hallo bars that Pink made for us. This will also show you the "Magic" of using the screen comp. Snag 2 bars from Pink's Bar Site, one black and one colored, both on BLACK bgs. I used black and orange. Put the colored one in your find box, and ccp the url for the black one. Head to IM. Enter the url for the black bar, click view, and go to decorate. Add a black border of 50x305 Go to composite. Comp the colored bar using SCREEN (Don't erase the url for the colored bar from your find box - you'll need it later) Center  +35-31 Then again @ Center -35+31 Click on the INPUT tab at the top of the page. The url for the black bar will still be in the text box. CCP it and hit your back key once. You'll be back at the comp SCREEN. Enter the url for the black bar and composite it using SCREEN. Center  +0+61 Then @ -0-61 Composite the colored bar ( it's still in your find box, right?) Center +35-91 Go to transform and trim. Resize to 360!x142. Output and save as a jpg. Name it bars1.jpg when you upload. Now we're going to make 3 backdrops. So CCP the url for the set of bars you just made, bars1.jpg, and go back to IM. For # 1 - enter the url, go to transform and rotate right. Go to decorte & add a black border of 142x0 Go to composite, & Comp the bars using SCREEN. WEST +0+0 Trim, output and save as a jpg.
