BATTLE GRAPHICS QUESTIONS

CloseI used Charas.ex to create battlers for 2003 and the weapons all look a bit large for the characters, and also they don't quite line up with them. Any ideas on how to make this work without trial and error. Maybe someone has some program that does a better job. Or maybe I am just screwing things up. Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks

If you have a photo editing program that supports layers (Photoshop comes to mind, although GraphicsGale supports it too, I believe), you can simply make the bottom layer your battlers and the top layer your weaponry. Line it all up that way and voila!
Just make sure that when you're editing it, you're doing so in the best color depth, then downgrade it afterward with Irfanview or something. Rm2k3 is real picky about that stuff and you could end up with your graphic quality decreased if you don't do the color depth correctly.
EDIT: This topic is more appropriate for the Help & Requests forum, so it will probably be moved once a mod stops in.

Thanks. The color thing is really helpful, I noticed a lot of pics I edit just don't work. For some reason my color is messed up when copying from one PNG to another.

Yeah. I always create a brand new file and copy/paste the files I want to edit into it. This assures they are being edited in the highest color depth. After I'm finished, I use Irfanview to reduce the colors and it all works fine from there. :]

How awesome you are!!! You helped me out so much, so simple even a caveman can do it and yet I couldn't! I have been trying forever to figure out my PNG problem and you just blurt it out like it was so simple. Thanks
