The Starter Page Set (part 1)
- The masked image
- First you select your page size. This is the frame size which you set for Tux Paint.
- Then you put a frame from the movie on your black piece of paper. In this example, I put the picture in the middle. You can put it anywhere you want. It just has to be exactly full size and never reduced or enlarged. In my case, the original footage (Scene: "Out for a Walk" on the DVD-Data disk "24 Unedited Scenes" from the Star Movie Shop) is 320 pixels by 240 pixels.
- Then I create a mask. As you can see, this hides the part of the picture which must be replaced by the matte painting.
- This is only half of what you need to do matte painting in Tux Paint. See the other half on the right.

The Starter Background Page (part 2 of 2)
- The whole picture
- Again, I place the frame from the movie on the window. But this time, I do not add any masks. (Actually, I just copied the other picture and threw away the mask.)
- Since there is no mask, you see the en tire picture including the background which will be erased.
- The trick is to give this image the same name as the first image but add the letter "-back" to the name.
- This is the second half of the set that you need to create a matte painting of a space station. (Remember I am showing you only minatures. Click on the picture to see the original at full size.)
