Picture formatting for my desktop.?

Question

Right now I'm trying to put the 2 noted pics on my desktop background, but I dunno how to set them up like I want to. The jet should be on the top-left half and the ship should be on the bottom-right set along a diagonal. Also, I want to mesh the two pics so there isn't a rough edge between them through the middle of the screen and I want to label the two pics with text that is integrated into the pics rather than in a text box within or to the side of the pics.

I have Corel Graphics Design Suite, Microsoft Publisher, Picasa 2, and Photo Impression 5. Anyone with any expertise and awareness of how to do this, please respond or email @ [e-mail].

The pics can be found at the according addresses:

Answer 1

That's actually a pretty complex bit of picture editing. You really need a program like Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro to do this kind of work. Also, the procedure varies widly, depending on the package you are using. If I understand what you want to do, you are first going to have to isolate the ship and the fighter jet from their respective backgrounds. With the color pallette they used to create them, it is going to be a tricky edit. Then you probably want to create a unified backdrop for both of them to make them uniform. Then you need to bring in both of the smaller imaged (ship and Fighter) as seperate layers. You can then move the layers around as you see fit to get the look you want. ALso keep in mind, the Raptor image you have is a 3D rendering, probably done in Maya or 3DS Max. I do stuff like that all the time in Carrara. The ship model however, is obviously hand painted. Putting the two of them in the same image is going to create an inconsistancy in the styles. You may need to do a lot of hand retouching on one or both of them to get them to match properly, Good luck.
