  RE: Projector screen effect
  Hi Terry, Grrrr. I took too long to post and didn't save to the clipboard before trying to post. I added a little bit of feathering to your tga file. I get the same result as you because the effect does not make the background image large enough.

  @johnebaker Hi John, Thanks for the instructions. I'm now starting to learn how to do this in PSP. I managed to erase more of the screen and get it to be transparent in a tga. It's rather messy, so I'll have to read up on how to create a shape to

  Projector screen effect
  When dropped on an image or video object the file beamer.cfx creates the effect of a slideshow or movie on a projector screen. (Removing the smoke of track 3 and the video level 'flickering' on track 1 updates it.) But it shows only a 2:3 portrait
