Elements Card Image Builder by Planplan and Xenocidius

Hmm... I love the background for entropy without uploading an image. Could I use THAT as my card image?

Found a small problem. You can't get quanta icons to show up in the description area. Or I couldn't so I'll stick to pixlr.

This is a known issue and is the only real reason why many cards aren't designed using this image generator. It's unfortunate, but planplan is a person with a real life just like the rest of us, so until he updates it, this is what we have. It is brilliant for cards without active skills that require quantum, though.

Anyone with any graphic editing skills at all can easily get around that problem.

They can, but if they have a lot of graphic editing skills then they wouldn't necessarily need to use the image creator.

And many people looking to use this because they don't own graphic editing software. Putting in the icons is easy in photoshop or something similar, but in MSpaint it can be time consuming.

If using Paint,

Screenshot the icon from the forum. Paste in paint.
Sample the background colour as the second colour choice.
Use the select tool and copy then paste in your card image.
On the tool options select transparency (its the bottom of the two choices for select)
You should have the icon with no superfluos colour.

20 sec an icon.

I probably have more graphic editing skills than 90% of all people in this forum (the other 10% being VRT, Pepokish, Kamietsu, etc), and I still use Planplan's card generator because it resembles a real card almost perfectly.

It is also just way more convenient, which is the whole reason people want the element symbols to be type-able in the text box.  I can make it work with GIMP myself, but so so SO much faster to just type and be done with it.

Right now you can't. I use Adobe Fireworks to do that.

How do i get monsters or something into the card?
I don't get them in the card, they get outside.

Your image needs to be exactly 256x256, or it will bleed off the edge.

Any image file should work.
