Yes exactly I used an aerial image taken from a plane.
Thanks for the info on the IRTC.

Hi Mitchell,

To nicely sideoff the hf, you only need to put a 1 pixel black border around
the bitmap - you don't need to do any CSG with a box.

Nice pic - keep up the good work and I hope you submit this to the current
IRTC competition.

Cheers,
Ian.
