Not much eh?
Press ctrl A ;)

I found this when getting the new winamp jamming tool from Geeks on the Run.
The principal is simple and in a way, you could do subliminal messages like this...

lol
Could you find me a ctrl B one?;)

[Daarkseid]

That is amazingly cool. I can imagine a few interesting things for which that could be utilized.

[MrCow]

now to figure oout how to actually do that (:<

[Fiyerstorm]

O_O

Whoa.

[obi]

Oh, it's a simple checkerboad tecnique, post me two pictures and I'll run you off an example if you like...

[gdorf]

Wow, that is very, very cool! Can you tell us how to do it from scrath, so we can do it ourselves?

[obi]

First off you need 2 pictures that are quite similar but desimilar enough so that one can mask the other. I don't have two pics like that so my example wont be as effective as the one I found.

Just create a crosspatch, overlay it to the two images, then get rid of the crosspatch. Then place the newly 'checkered' pictures atop each other so that one pictures blanks fill the others. If you have too much un filled space, pic one of the original pictures and underlay it to fill those spaces.
In the short time, I created this -

Now, whne you high light it, kirby should dissapear. You can see where i underlayed the mario image improperly. This was just a rush job :D

The method is in one big PNG (1.12mb) here (http://gaming-honor.com/obi/misc/crosspatch.png) so you might want to right click save as if you want to view it.

EDIt - I should have just crosspatched the kirby picture then dumped it onto the mario one, would ahve been easier lol

[skidphyzz]

uuh he doesn't disappear.

[goKi]

Those things are awesome.. and yes skidphyzz, kirby did disappear.. try highlighting it.

[theplustwo]

mebbe phoenix highlights different than IE, or mebbe the theme controls how it highlights, but it doesn't dissapear for me either. :shrug:

[JuggaLotus]

THAT is sweet!
and kinda nice but thats not the point, ... j/k

[skidphyzz]

yeah I highlighted it, and pressed control A, it must be Phoenix like TPT said

[Paradox]

wow, this is awesome.

it would also be a good way to hide your pr0n if you don't want other people to see it ;)
