The Quick Card Making Tutorial
​

This tutorial's purpose is to make cards faster than normal. Only when you have already made a card that is. Let's start already. Note that this tutorial is made for Photoshop Users.

We will make a Dark Dragonite card for this Tutorial, just for an example.

Step 1:
First of. Open your recently made card that is similar to your upcoming new card (If the energy symbols of the new card are similar or used by a recent card or something Etc). Make sure that the placements are correct on the recent card (Used Fangking's Tutorials and such). Let's open my Dark Tyranitar Card as an example shall we?

Step 2:
Open your card blank. Let's open a Rocket Style Dark Stage 2 card for this tutorial.

Step 3:

> On the recent card
Select the Layer of the Name (With the Move Tool, right click on the Name and select the Layer of the Name. Or simply select the Layer with the Layers Window) Now with the Rectangular Marquee tool. Right Click and Select 'Duplicate Layer...' and duplicate the layer onto the card blank.

> On the Card Blank
Not look at it. The name should be there sitting in the blank like this:

Figure 3

If you haven't seen the recent card's name in the blank, try again or set the arrangement to 'Bring to Front' or something.

Step 4:
Do this with the other useful symbols and texts like Id, #, Illus., Damage, Atk name, HP, etc. (Repeat Step 3 but do this with the other useful symbols and texts instead of the name.)

You will end up with something like this:

Figure 4

Step 5:
Now add the other symbols and texts that the card still needs. After that. Move and Edit all the things that are needed to be changed.

This Should be your situation right now...

I'm going to say the exact same thing I said on PC.

I have a problem with this tutorial. It doesn't really go into placement. With this tutorial, one would assume that placement doesn't matter and they could put the text in different spots and the symbols in the wrong spot. Oh sure, they know where it goes, but it would have perfect placement unless you specify what the placement for stuff is. It's still a good tutorial though.
10/10 for Dark Dragonite though.

(I wonder if Fox or Esperante caught this. -.-)
