nshamas Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 This is generally a request to convert my Magic: The Gathering pictures from their regular version scans to versions that look foiled or holographic .. see below for comparison.. Something to alter the pic on the left to look like (as close as possible) the pic on the right. (The sizing is irrelevant) -- The request is either a plug-in.dll or a tutorial (i'm completely newbish when it comes to working with photo editing programs.) Any advice in the right direction; and especially a plug-in would be unimaginably appreciated. Thanks, -Nick (nshamas@gmail.com) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy Man Dan Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 That's the Conditional Hue / Saturation adjustment plugin with Fade (verticle) *sic radio button selected under Hue Action.

Ash Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 Add new layer. Fill with any light color alpha=100 (don't use black,white or gray) Use Conditional Hue/Saturation (Fade verticle) *full rage on color wheel* Use some distort (Wave, sine wave) a few times,repeat as needed, mix and match... Adjust the layer's opacity if needed. Done.

Crazy Man Dan Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 Well, I was pretty close. Go with Ash's steps to recreate it exactly.

Ash Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 @BB: I remember that. Was wondering when you will show up Quote All creations Ash + Paint.NET [ Googlepage | deviantArt | Club PDN | PDN Fan ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nshamas Posted August 22, 2007 Author Share Posted August 22, 2007 You play magic? So do I.In fact, I'm also a moderator at http://www.magictraders.com Cool that you also play Magic, though I don't care too much for MTGTraders -- no offense. It's not the moderators, but rather the large amount of unavoidable asses that peruse the forums with their cocky attitudes. I used to sell cards via the forums, but not anymore .. due to said cockers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nshamas Posted August 22, 2007 Author Share Posted August 22, 2007 I didn't mean to undermine your position on MTGTraders.com. Thanks for the tips, Ash. I messed with it a bit, and came up with this; with time I will get better at this; I just followed your steps to see how it would come out if I did it. So it turns out I can do it :wink:. Thanks Again, -Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 No problem. You should use some distort as stated above, unless thats the look you are going for. Quote All creations Ash + Paint.NET [ Googlepage | deviantArt | Club PDN | PDN Fan ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nshamas Posted August 22, 2007 Author Share Posted August 22, 2007 No problem. You should use some distort as stated above, unless thats the look you are going for. I did, in fact, use Sine Wave .. but I just didn't play with it long enough to make the Black Lotus look quite as realistic... I just wanted to let you know t hat I had gotten it, and thank you =) I'm a mod at magictraders.com not mtgtraders.com I know, I just call it MTGTraders.com, but like I said no offense to you- just don't care for the site. =/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
