Ok,
1) to change the layer of the insignia you have to make sure that, the insignia is the item you currently have selected. When you first add it to the drawing it is automatically the selected item until you click on or add something else. To re-select the item just click on it on the canvas. Once it is selected click on the transformation tab ( #1 in the picture below ) and you will see the layering control ( #2 in the picture below ) There is a button to move move the layer up one layer at a time and one to go down one layer at a time. There is also a button to move the item to the very top layer and another to move it to the very bottom layer.
2) To Mirror image an item, if you want two or more of the item, make sure you click the multiples button on each category of items you want muliples if you want just a single item leave it or change it back to single ( #1 on the picture below ). Then to Flip it you will again need to go to the transformation tab and you will see the flipping tools ( #2 in the picture below )
3) The lens flare and glow effects are done with variations of highlighting and shading, we affectionately call zyping around these parts. Here is a tutorial on highlighting and shading done by the HM Guru AMS: http://www.heromachine.com/forum/tips-tricks-how-tos-and-guides/how-to-highlightshade/ … Once you get the hang of it you can start to play around with the size and shape of the highlights to create different effects.
4) and Lastly here is a tutorial on how to post your characters by yours truly! http://www.heromachine.com/forum/the-heromachine-art-gallery/how-to-post-your-character/#p2302

I’m a bit new to this so I hope I’ve done this right.
You just need to add the text string so that people can get the image you created on there own computers. To get and save the text string here is a tutorial made by our own talented Kaylin88100 : http://www.heromachine.com/forum/tips-tricks-how-tos-and-guides/kaylins-tutorials/#p9836

I was having problems uploading TEXT files for Custom Backgrounds and Companions. For some reason, the “View Existing File Uploads” button does not work in the Custom Items Archive Forum. It works in this Forum as well as my personal Forum. So I simply copied and pasted the links. While trying to figure out why TEXT files were not loading, I uploaded duplicates. Anyway to delete the dupes?
Anyway, for the time being, there is a workaround. I edited my posts in the Custom Items Archive to include the TEXT files. You can find them in Backgrounds and Companions. Enjoy!
I am not sure what was causing you to have problems adding your text files to your backgrounds, however I just added a background of my own and did not experience the problem you did. What browser are you using ? Also can you try again to add a new file to the custom item forum and see if you are still experiencing the same problem ? If you are or if anyone else is having this same issue please let me know right away and I will bring it to Jeff’s attention.
