Hey Jim, I now have file extensions showing as well, and I have made some progress using Photoshop. I am playing around with watermask & blendmask borders. For example, in the picture attachments you see, I extended the watermask to about 50 feet from shore with the idea of showing the coral around the island, that being St.Thomas, US V.I.
I just inverted the watermask image and filled it with white, turned it into a blendmask with blur at around 50 thinking it would blend more with the ocean textures. My issue is that it does not blend well at all with the ocean textures, (I am using REX), one part is too light blue and the other part too dark. Is there a way to better blend that, or approach it better?
I also show FSX stock ground textures in same parts, and even the airport is off, I suppose the airport could be fixed with a different afcad, but have not found one yet.
Thanks for the advice!!
Bernardo
