bigball12 Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 What is the best way to make a portrait out of the small bio pics on MLB.com. Because I can only make portraits with the big pics from MLBpressbox, and when some players get traded they only super impose the new teams hat on the guy rather than a new picture. Or if someone can tell me how to put the new teams hat on the guy that would be good too. THNX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seanzarelli Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 Photoshop is your friend guys. Find a player on the team the player got traded to that wears his hat similar to the guy that got traded, then use your favorite cutout tool, cut out both hats, place the new hat on the traded guy, then use your clone stamp to fill in any white spots on the background with the original grey background, and then the smudge tool to fix any of the shadows under the bill. This is how I make my portraits when someone gets traded using the MLB Pressbox player head shots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been told this stuff in "other" portrait threads and many of the tutorials that have been pointed out to him. A person just can't jump into modding stuff without knowing how to use the program(PS) first. Seems he wants to "run" with PS before learning how to "walk" with it.

bigball12 Posted July 16, 2006 Author Share Posted July 16, 2006 so for a 1x portrait do I just change the sizing from 256 to 128? and what do I make the height the first time I resize the image? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigball12 Posted July 16, 2006 Author Share Posted July 16, 2006 and what size do I make the image the first time I resize it rather than 309 pixels? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tebjr Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 If you want it 1x, it should be 128x128, 2x will be 256x256. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
