The ULTIMATE Photoshop CARD TEMPLATES v2.2.2

[Scaredgirl]

I can't screenshot the symbols. They'll be too blurry. Tried it once, gave up.

I don't know how you guys do it... Do you just redraw the whole symbol?

I would probably screenshot it and clean it up with Photoshop. I'll do it when I have time.

Wow, SG you have some Photoshop skills there. I never even knew you could put layers into folders in Photoshop. Nice.

Cool, thanks. I'll add this url to my original post.

Updated the first post. This one should have everything. Tell me if something is still missing.

Ah.. "other" cards is still missing.. great..

Version 2.1 is out.

To be honest, I haven't been very thrilled with people's attempt at making upgraded card templates. They were good tries, and are bad, just not close enough to the actual upgraded cards. So, I took a shot at it and I found I really enjoy my results. Here's an example of what I got:



I also took some time to include the "Other" card in this template package as well.

Cool, thanks!

First thing I noticed was the new borders and transparent corners. Yay! I was planning on doing that on the next update but you saved me some work.

Your upgraded gradient is definitely better. Not enough bottom-right gradient was the biggest graphical problem with my version. I noticed it too late and was too lazy to fix it because I had already merged by gradient layers.

I found some "bugs" in your version though:

- Your upgraded card name is too black (100% black). Zanz used slight transparency. My version is wrong also as it is too light and doesn't have transparency.

- Your gradient effect goes on top of the image border making it lighter. On the ones Zanz made, the border is black in both versions. This is easy to fix with some Rectangular Tool and DELETE key.

- Description texts in regular and upgraded are on different levels


Other than that, it looks pretty good to me.

I'll make those changes (or you can make them if you want) and update the template on the first post. Thanks for help.

Oh wow. I didn't even notice those things, nor even knew about the upgraded card's name transparency. I added that and (hopefully) fixed the mistakes you caught. The name is at about 85% transparency. It's a bit lighter now, but I couldn't even distinguish any sign of such a thing on the actual cards so I just took my best guess.

[Scaredgirl]

Ok, something happened to my previous reply so I'll have to write a new one. Great..

After seeing how ugly those cards looked without borders,  I decided to update them asap.

I first made the title 90% transparent but the 85% you have there is probably closer to truth so I changed it.

The version posted there still has the problem I talked about earlier. Your top-left gradient goes on top of that image-border-shadowy-thing making it white. It's not a big deal but I fixed it anyways.

If we really want to make this template perfect, we need to redo all those 12 card backs because I did them in a hurry the first time and they are not perfect.

The image doesn't appear.. Could you try to re-up it?

[bobcamel]

The image won't appear, but the downloading works fine. The thing is, it consists of multiple layers, even containing all the cardbacks and some tutorials, so it wouldn't look anything like a set of cardbacks, so why bother. After you download and open it it works fine.

I just re-checked it and it works. Did you try to open it with Photoshop or what?
