Hi,

I've noticed that SI hasn't update the flag for DR Congo (it's now like this) and am looking to be able to create my own flag icons. I'm not particularly good with graphics programs so I was wondering if someone has/would be able to create a template file: basically an image with a couple of layers that sort out the shading and border, then I just place the image in a layer beneath it (I use The GIMP). I prefer the FM2005 style as, although the colours in are perhaps more 'realistic', they look a little too dull in FM2007.

Thanks in advance,
Chris

The way we do it (in Photoshop) is take the source image and scale it down to size then add some effect layers to it and export it. This can be run as a batch process to do all the flags at once.

I've not had a chance to try out The GIMP yet so I have no idea whether this sort of functionality is possible or not in that program.

If there is, I wouldn't know - I can only do very basic things.

Would anyone else here know about this?
