My wife knows whats up. We have lots of pics like that on our computer... also, you can overlay the limbs and make one transparent, so you can see exavtly how they match.

TrevorM:
I'll assume you're on windows since you mentioned paint. Your best bet is probably Paint.net, it's basically an improved version of paint. Just google "paint .net", make sure you have that space in there or it'll think you're entering a website and take you to an actual paint site :)

I've done that but so far I'm having trouble getting the transparency just right. Because they are the same color the two limbs just blend together and then I can't tell the two layers apart.

Thanks Trevor, I'll keep that in mind if I start having problems with this. The screen is so cluttered with stuff on Gimp that it's a little intimidating when you first open it.

TrevorM:
Sure thing. It's handy to have even if you're comfortable with gimp just for those quick jobs.

If lowering the opacity isn't working there are different layer blend modes you can select, try those out. You'll probably get some funky results, but one of them may show at least the outlines clearly.
