Apophenia's Offerings
apophenia:
Thanks folks.
Frank: Photoline looks intriguing ... and I had a wander around its support section. I think I'll give Photoline a try.

That is pretty much the same technique that I was using in PS. Mostly, I just select one small area at a time and 'cut' that before moving on. On occasion, I use 'inverse' but mainly for feathering harsh edges.
ps: Cool to see a bit of Sandon architecture. Their collection of CCF-Brill T48 trolley busses also intrigues. I wonder what their original plan was for the Brills?

I use inverse a fair bit, especially when cleaning up or redrawing an airline logo or somesuch from a jpg or a png that's not on a transparent background.

I have no idea - but better there than at the scrapper's! I'm told there's also one or more at Three Valley Gap, though I've passed through there 1000 times, and stopped at Craigellachie a few times, I've never actually stopped at 3VG... and also it's fun when the Transit Museum brings out their Brills for rides around the city. I love them, fond childhood memories.

I was imagining a tour route festooned with overhead trolley lines for the Brills. And all fed by Silversmith Power Station's Tesla generator. I'm sure some clever marketing type could do something with that! :D

I'm now entertaining myself imagining Highway 31A wired for trolleys between New Denver and Kaslo... or maybe from Nakusp to Nakusp Hot Springs...

Overhead wires for transport trucks seems to be the future for German highways. Expanding that to 'inter-urban' trolley buses just makes sense. But how much more fun to (re)use restored CCF-Brills and Flyers? :D
