This might be easier. Then you can start with a tile filter and then work with just "tiled operation". This was how old'n'good DeluxePaint solved it (anyone remember that program?). This is a lazy and rather unprofessional solution, but it might just work. I didn't know about the transform, but that only simplifies my routine, it still isn't perfect. ;) Another question, maybe stupid, why doesn't the tile filter tile all layers, like you would expect? /Mirar
