[Therion] How to morph sketches

[Martin Sluka]

An final solution:

You may use Command line option when compiling. It will create the folder thTMPDIR in working directory. and save there all temporary files created during compilation. There you may find your morphed background image too. Rename it, move to directory with sketches and use in normal way as any background image. You may unsharp it, make more contrast, make transparent and so on.

Thanks Stacho to pointed me to this option. Life with Therion is more easy now. :)
