needs to be done in the alpha channel so that the figure would be visible, that is to outline it and paint over the white

Photoshop latest version can be any color, black, crimson, but that would figure in the alpha channel was visible, it must be painted over in white.

If you do not understand what is Illyustrator better understanding of English than I do, so I also use a translator.:D

in the alpha channel that would be seen an image to paint white to hide something black.

Hi guys, I do understand both Russian and English!:)

But unfortunately I cant make an emblem. Would it be possible to implement one of these U-703 emblems to SH5?

I is glad that it was pleasant to you. But a picture I do not see.
=============================================
The most reliable variant, that all could see yours Screenshots.
1. Create "Album" in "Profile".
2. It is desirable to keep Screenshots in jpg a format (it all browsers understand).
3. Load into "Album" Screenshots.
4. Press a miniature of yours Screenshots. (There will be a big picture and under it two references).
5. We copy the top reference.
6. In "Message" it is chosen "to Insert the image".
7. In appeared "Window" it is inserted this ссыку. (The reference is copied entirely. http://- necessary to remove).
8. We enjoy...

Самый надёжный вариант, что бы все могли видеть ваш Screenshots.
1.Создайте "Альбом" в своём "Профиле".
2.Желательно сохранить Screenshots в jpg формате (его понимают все браузеры).
3.Загрузите в "Альбом" Screenshots .
4.Нажмите на миниатюру Вашего Screenshots.(появится большая картинка и под ней две ссылки).
5.Копируем верхнюю ссылку.
6.В своём "Сообщении" выбираем "Вставить изображение".
7.В появившемся "Окне" вставляем эту ссыку.(ссылка копируется целиком. http://-надо удалить).
8. Наслаждаемся...

Once again , thank you Illyustrator!
(I am a green forum user :))
I always wanted U-703 emblem, because it had interesting history in the Arctic (It even saved some Russian survivors from Hopen Island - including one woman!) It travelled further north than probably any other U-boat and then dissapeared without a trace during one patrol. And, what was interesting to me, its second captain Joachim Brunner was born in my home town of Wroclaw, former Breslau.

Большое спосибо за оказанную помощь молодец Illyustrator!!! :up:
