I hate to be a bother, but do you know where I could find a tutorial? I looked around for "stock photoshop tutorials" but I think I might be misunderstanding something.

What do you mean stock? Manipulated stock photos?

Tutorials, tutorials, and more tutorials. They're free, and they teach a lot. After you get some ideas about how to make effects, start experimenting. Sites to get you started: psdtuts.com (perhaps a bit advanced) photoshopstar.com pshero.com Also, my Photoshop life changed forever one I learned how to use the pen tool. If you don't know, I would definitely suggest googling a tutorial or two on that tool and learning.

New Jake Peavy: You can get the 1280x1024 version at my padres blog. Also, I used Lucas' suggestion to produce an effect similar to his Frank Thomas wallpaper. Here's what I did: 1. Duplicate layer 2. On the top layer go go to Image > Adjustments > Gradient Map, apply black to white gradient. 3. Change gradient mapped layer to overlay, adjust opacity to desired result. 4. ????? 5. Profit

Thanks!

Mets one a few pages back is my favorite of yours. Question on the Frank Thomas: how did you get his color the way it is? He looks fantastic!

You're welcome .

Glad both you and KG liked it. No worries about the style. I like simplicity in design as well. Most of what I come up with begin by trying to replicate something else, failing, then liking what I end up with.

$50 Bucks please. Wish that worked.

KG, your Dontrelle Willis text needs some work. Have you learned about layer effects yet? (assuming you're in Photoshop) Bust some of those out on that text. Maybe a drop shadow or outer glow.

He should ask for all the money he paid back.

Wait a minute! You're "someone"!

Got it. Cool.

[Dwight Voice] Question: Have Swingin Soriano and kgbaseball ever considered releasing one (1) roster set combined? Call it like 'SS's and KGB's rosters' or something? This may have been discussed before, so forgive me if it has.

If it helps, Rob Bowen of the Padres has the wrong cyberface. edit: Crap, I could have sworn I read the whole description, but apparently I forgot the mention of the new models.big. My bad.
