You should be able to just cut and paste the pic.
Arrange the image to where you want it in Sketch-up and the copy (Ctrl C)
Then open MS paint and then paste (Ctrl V) in to the paint program.
Than you can edit it to what you want save as JPG and you are ready to go.

Easy.

Oh my. With your hands? I bet you used your hands. Don't ruin my fantasy by telling me otherwise.

I think I've settled on a rock layout. Now just have to buy some sand and build the stand canopy and wait for water!

My picture taking ability leaves much to be desired, can't quite get the pic to show the cool depth I've got going on in there...who knew 'scaping a 6 gallon would be so difficult...took me damn near an hour before I was happy with it....and it still might be changed!

pretty much!
The stand/canopy unit will be the most time consuming I think. All that's left is that, and to paint the plumbing if I decide to...we'll see!
