Commandmap icon


(GloXz) #1

I’m a total noob concerning graphical design, and I needed a commandmap image for a switch. So I made a screenshot in ET, cut the switch out, and saved it as tga to use as a commandmap image.

It came out completely wrong:

Can someone make this for me please ?
Here’s the image in jpg that I cut out of the screenshot:

Umm, your screenshot is almost completely black. Even when I try to use contract and brightness adjustmenst to get a semi “pure” image, it ends up graining and awful. See if you can get a better shot with more light on the switch.

I’ll try, but in ET its very light. But when I paste the screenshot in photoshop it is really dark
