I'll probably be buying this software, unless I can find a crack (just joking, guys!). One little niggle is that "Import Logo" doesn't allow you to import a gif - one of my clients has a logo with an irregular outline, so his logo needs to be a gif, otherwise you get a box around it.

When you get the finished picture it's technically three layers - a background, a product image and a logo. It needs to be saved to combine the images as one and save changes such as background compression. Trying to export those three layers by drag and drop prior to saving would probably be a nightmare :shock: I’d guess again North that’s a tricky technical problem to work a solution for.

If you link to us - we link to you. We will also be including the 'Best Bling!s' in our monthly newsletter (1st one going out 6th Dec. The ones we include will be linked back to your eBay store or site of your choice. Should definitely help push traffic. We have developed Bling! It with the eBay community in mind and we will push and promote people who use our software. We see this as an ongoing relationship. We also really would like feedback from you guys. On how we might be able to improve Bling! It in later versions. Thanks again and happy Bling!ing ;-) Steveo Hey Suz,

It can transform your product shots. The more you use our software the easier and quicker it becomes. When you're in the 1 st tab and are painting out the background try and increase the edge blending. You'll find the tool for this on the right hand side. This tool gives you control over how much you want to soften the edges - general rule is more for naturally soft edges (like cloth, fur) and less for hard edges (like glass, or plastic). Chris, yes lets announce the Bling! Fest - over to you ;-) Steveo Hey guys,

From then on it's limited (eg you can't drag and drop a logo) I guess because the image is worked in layers and you can't specify which layer the logo should be on.
