JohnM I was checking out the features on PD Fill and it has this option (3.Encrypt and Decrypt Options). It lets you put or remove passwords as long as you know the password, then it makes another PDF. Then you can take the templates (images) off of the PDF so you can do what ever you want with them (recolor,re-size, or modify) for your own purpose, unless you get permission to share.

I also use MS paint to change scales in card kits and my own line drawings. Simple and effective.

My life has very recently become very busy, so I don’t know when I will be building let alone re-coloring any models. With that said Revell Fan has pointed out that the tutorial missed two things, both about PD Fill program. The first is about the margins (see first picture). If you want the templates (images) to fit the whole page, then you need to put “0.0” in the top, bottom, left, and right boxes. I did mention margins, but didn’t go in to details on the PDF tutorial.
The second thing was about Image Resolution when taking the Templates (images) off a PDF using PD Fill. In the second picture you can see that it says “144”dpi. Revell Fan said I should change it to between 200-300 psi.
You will also notice it saves in PNG format. I tried working with JPEG format, but after saving my work several times a smudging/smearing effect would happen. Revell Fan told me that JPEG doesn’t compress the same as PNG format. You can see in the two pictures of the nose of the viper that the one that is smudged is JPEG format, while the other is PNG format.

Egads! I've always tried to stay away from pressures that high...

I just got a PM that the PDF was deleted by accident during an update, so I re up loaded the PDF.

Blake7, don't knock yourself for using MSPaint. It's all I've ever used for the models I create, and it can be a great tool if you take the time to work with it.
