Tuna Oddfellow, Tester and michiel like this!

In a previous posting basic effects were shown. Additionally I added a Particle Layer to 1st picture layer. It appears that with a Particle Layer both the Picture Layer and the Particle Layer retain their own transparency effect however the picture's transparency overides added Particle Layer. Unlike the Plasma Layer, the Particle Layer retains its own transparency control independant of the picture it is attached to. My application to Star Trek Transporter is an obvious one to make the point.
1. Add Container Layer
2. Attach 1st Picture Layer with graphic that you want to show through attached plasma (at later time). To this attach specularity.
3. Attach 2nd Picture Layer using same graphic as 2.
4. Attach Plasma Layer to 2nd picture layer.

Make 2nd Picture Layer active. Its transparency controls both the graphic picture and the attached plasma. As I adjust its transparency the plasma becomes more and more transparent and what shows through is the 1st Picture Layer graphic ... which is the original graphic. This is how you can make a graphic with an attached plasma layer show the onderlying graphic and hence exhibit transparency. The original problem was that when a Plasma Layer is attached to a graphic, it looses its transparency characteristic.
Question: how do I download this in a format that can be shown directly without unzipping first?
