blue line question

Recommended Posts

Ok I've read up on this and know that if you export an EMF from V3 you need to divide the sat by the size of the heightmap e.g 10240 / 1024 gives me 10 pixels to chop off the left and bottom. What do I do if I have an existing sat_lco.png that I've made? do I chop that by 10 pixels bottom and left? I want to start paint roads in the sat and creating a mask but not sure what sizes to make these images. also I am exporting EMF's to check contours etc, the program i use converts but only upto 6000x6000 it wont convert my EMF to the right size of 10240x10240 what app do ppl use to do this? cheers

the BlueEdge only applies to EMF exports from Visitor... You calculate your size - eg: 10 pixels - ADD THAT to the "normal" satellite size you're using, and export the EMF...

Using your numbers above - you'd export a 10250x10250 px EMF...

Then - head for your Visitor 3 install directory, where you'll find "EmfToPng.exe" - drag the EMF file you saved onto that - it'll convert to a 10250x10250 .png bitmap...

Then load that into your graphics program and crop off the 10 pixels "Blue Edges"

That gets you back to a 10240x10240 which - should - overlay your actual Sat image perfectly....
