You can then use the Move Selection tools or drag the mouse to adjust the selection. Try changing the size to 521 pixels wide (Image > Resize or Ctrl+R), then use Rectangle Select (the dotted square tool, shortcut S) to measure out a box that is 203 pixels tall - the size of the rectangle is indicated in the status bar. If you're doing many pictures at once, you can use the Ctrl+F shortcut or 'Repeat Color Filter' under the Effects menu to speed the process up. Effects > Color > Color Filter: Click the box with the active foreground color, to the left of the color wheel, and the settings will be automatically applied.Adjustments > Black and White (shortcut Ctrl+Shift+G): this is so the color is washed out.Next, use these menu options to re-colour your image. Find the Color Picker tool (the eyedropper icon, shortcut: K) and choose a fairly dark brown portion of the image. Open one of the images in Paint.NET, which supports TGA files. A neat trick here is to find your game folder (for example, C:\Program Files\Paradox Interactive\Victoria 2\) and browse to the gfx\pictures\events folder. If you keep the event picture the same colour as the original source, it'll stick out like a sore thumb next to the sepia-toned vanilla pictures. Save the picture and open it in Paint.NET. Get your pic into Paint.NET and recolor it This tutorial will be using Henry Arthur McArdle's painting, The Battle of San Jacinto. Emerson.tga and Tocqueville.tga in the Victoria 2\gfx\pictures\events folder. If you have mad photoshop skills, you can get creative with tricks such as adding text next to a person's portrait which PI used for some of the author events, see e.g.Choose something appropriate to the pre-1936 period of course.If your picture has a plain white background, such as a poster or other document, try overlaying it over the image gfx\interface\event_country_background.dds (which is the parchment-like background texture of the event screen).If your picture is too small you may have to copy in another image to fill in the space. All event pictures are sized 521 pixels by 203 pixels. Look for long and thin landscape pictures wherever possible, and go for the highest resolution you can find (they're easier to resize).
Generally Paradox Interactive seems to prefer line drawings, cartoons and paintings to photographs.
