By the time you've faffed about doin that you might has well have just got off your bottom and computer, drove to halfords and bought some nice white lockwood dials for about the same price, if not cheaper, than buying a photoshop program and wasting painful amounts of time fannying around blending, copying, pasting, cutting and sticking. Well just my opinion anyway :D
