Hello there,

Alien ruleset, no extension,
Destroyer of Worlds module.
Some spoilers ahead, beware.

I'm trying to make an image with 3 layers, in order to easily move player tokens in between.
I managed to get a (very nice) similar effect in another campaign (CoC ruleset) with sucess, with 3 layers of a boat.
Here I use 3 images: Climbercargo, ClimberControl and ClimberPersonnel.
53289
53290
53291

I use the Stamp functionnality to put climbers on top of each other.
The problem: as you can see, when i clic to stamp, the resulting image is not set where i want to put it and the dimensions are wrong.
So I can't use one of the "Climbers" as base image and stamp the other two on it in order to reveal the other floors to my players.
I'm aware that I can simply open and share the other images to my players, and move their tokens on it, but I want to know why the image is deformed.
The 3 pictures are somewhere between 8 and 10 Mo. Perhaps I have reached some limitation in Stamps usage?
Thanks for your help.

I'm not sure. Stamps are really meant to add things to a base image; it looks like you are using a massive image to make a stamp instead of just using the image itself? If you create a new image using one of the images you can then drag the other two onto that image directly from assets to create layers two and three (I assume you want a three layer map where each layer is a different level).

Also if you are using stamps you can resize them.

...I thought I must use stamps to put images onto images... :eek::confused:
It worked to this day, probably because I used smaller images as Stamps.
Thanks, this way it works smoothly, and it makes so much sense!
fyi the resizing of the stamp does not work here, I always got the same deformed image wathever size I choose.
Probably because the image is too big for the stamp tool.

So it is second solution: dumb user :) sorry and thanks for your help!
