Nigel H Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Hi all,I have a PSD (Photoshop) File or Jpeg file of the same. Basically say yellow writing on a white background, HOW do I change the background from white to transparent ? I have adobe Photoshop 5.5 and PaintShop Pro 7 Any help would be much appreacited ? Nige Basically select the background using the selction tool, and cut it. However your tool (ooh err) can have different settings - and to keep the transparecy you'll need to save the file as a PS, or EPS file ideally. You can GIF it too but I wouldn't reccommend it. If it's not top secret pass the file on to me and I'll see what I can do. N. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

western Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 As absolutly no notice was taken off the 2 million signatures on the road pricing petition, don't think they'll take any notice of this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbarton Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 As absolutly no notice was taken off the 2 million signatures on the road pricing petition, don't think they'll take any notice of this one. True, but this issue doesn't give scope to raise millions of pounds from the motorist, it won't allow the government to snoop on us and it doesn't give the opportunity for IT companies to line the pockets of government officials, or am I being sceptical?

101nut Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Have I missed something are there such proposals on the cards????? There are various 'end of life' proposals that keep getting dredged up and thrown back in. I'm not sure if there's a live one at the moment. The really bad one, should it ever be passed, is the 'safety' legislation which will not allow reuse of parts in other vehicles and will only allow manufacturer certified replacement parts (read 'genuine only' here). In other words new replacement parts only, dealers rubbing their grubby little mits with glee as it was their cronies who proposed this to make oodles of dosh and 'old' vehicles disappearing off the road as genuine spares dry up ... This proposal may be killed under anti-competition law but I wouldn't bet on it. AndyG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nas90 Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 More importantly you can forget having a disk handbrake conversion unless it's manufactured by Land Rover! Scrapiron would also be affected, but they don't count Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Se7enUp Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 Just looked on the LWD website and although they are using BMW bikes, the support vehicles are Nissan Patrols. After watching Charlie Bordman and co on the Paris Dakar programme, it looks like they've learnt their lesson and are steering well clear of the Scrapiron supported X5's (It did make for good telly though as it slowly turned itself in to a pile of broken parts! ) Looks like RJN Motorsport got the job of preping the Patrols. Just a shame that they couldn't have used Landrovers. I'd love to see a full on Rally/Expedition Spec Disco 3 kicking up the dust while charging through Africa B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jules Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 breaker due to body rot still have MOT till Sept. 1989 FWH but I can't see a locker anywhere but it has a trans gears switch ??? not that I know what that is. the body is very rusty but mechanically sound and runs sweat. the engine has 2l-t so I assum it is not the big 4.2lt but it can't mean its a 2lt that wouldn't pull the skin of a rice pudding. What is it worth on the open market I can't use the axles for now as the ABS will need some attention before I can fit toyotas axles to my Rangy yet.

Lewis Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 IIRC if its a uk car it should have e-lockers F & R, however if its an import it should have an LSD in the back Lewis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
callum Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 IIRC if its a uk car it should have e-lockers F & R, however if its an import it should have an LSD in the backLewis i'm assuming its a 70 something series if its got he 2 litre, probably a 2.4 unless its really rubbish and i dont think the vx as you know it i.e 80 series was realeased until 1990. would be very very early if its an '89. if its an 80 series engine it will be a 1hz or 1hdt is it a leafer or coil front, leaf back? check the track on the axles as well, might be narrower than rover. i think 80 series had wider axles. there was awhite range rover buggy thing on here with 80 axles, owner should be able tot tell you and a yellow IIa with 78 axles, so you should be able to see what it looks like. post up some piccies, that will solve things. best way to check value is ebay completed listings. i dont think that type of cruiser commands much money wise, especially if its a rot box. you never know though.

MogLite Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 Jules If its a UK car its almost certainly got lockers, if its Jap import, then it almost certainly hasn't Lockers are on a rotary switch on the dash, to the left of the steering column. hope it helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jules Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 I have not said yes yet. Looking at it this afternoon I couldn't find a switch but if its a import I don't know and the farmer that owns it knows nothing about it, as far as he is consured its never let him down but its too much to fix the slipping clutch. How can I tell if its a import It has vertualy no crome or any of the other carp stuck to it like the normal imports. its black short SWB which was once a very nice looking truck 89 'F' plate this is the best photo I could find it has the extention spats like this one. the engin is mint although it has galactic miles what it worth as a 2.5lt turbo Thanks for the imput guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imspanners Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 Isn't that a Prado? (import) I thought the Landcruisers at that age had round headlamps? or the upper-spec had twin-squares? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
