sully04 Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 OK so tonight I decided to start messing around with portraits to see if I could switch teams around. I did Dmitri Young to the Twins first because it seemed like an easy place to start. Any Advice on what I could do better? http://s116.photobucket.com/albums/o2/sull...urrent=0000.jpg Link to comment https://www.mvpmods.com/forums/topic/25822-portrait-alteration-advice/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgbaseball Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 The only thing I see is that the hat may be a tad bit too dark. I'm actually wearing a Twins hat right now, and the hue is just a bit lighter and more blueish than that. Other than that, looks good. A screen of the portrait in game would help to make sure there's no white line around it.

kgbaseball Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 How do you make your alphas? There's a really easy and quick way to do it. krawhitham made a tutorial on EAmods.com if you want to check that out.

sully04 Posted December 16, 2006 Author Share Posted December 16, 2006 I usually use Magic wand and then i clean up around it with paint brush etc. Maybe I'll check out that tutorial.

kgbaseball Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 Well, you've got the beginning down. Magic wand, then Expand (Select Menu) 1-2 pixels, then Feather (also Select Menu) .5-.7 pixels. Most of the time you shouldn't have to use a paint brush to clean up after that. Also, I've got a video tutorial on the site somewhere that shows you how to do it with Photoshop.

sully04 Posted December 16, 2006 Author Share Posted December 16, 2006 Alright I did it. I think it looks slightly better. Again thanks for everything. I like being able to do this stuff for myself. http://s116.photobucket.com/albums/o2/sull...=untitled-1.jpg http://s116.photobucket.com/albums/o2/sull...nt=untitled.jpg Link to comment https://www.mvpmods.com/forums/topic/25822-portrait-alteration-advice/#findComment-346987 Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgbaseball Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 Still a bit of white around his hair, but not too bad. Link to comment https://www.mvpmods.com/forums/topic/25822-portrait-alteration-advice/#findComment-346990 Share on other sites More sharing options...
GEOLINK Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 The Cutting of the alpha looks a bit sloppy. From my advice if you are using the portrait that came with MVP06 mod. Just edit the existing portrait and leave the alpha Link to comment https://www.mvpmods.com/forums/topic/25822-portrait-alteration-advice/#findComment-346995 Share on other sites More sharing options...
