I have paint.net, but prefer to use ms paint for most of my designing.

The only thing I use it for is the magic wand tool! which is great

I don't know if people are still using my templates but I've updated my current ones and put them all together in 1 .psd file found here.
I used the shading from Incase's template and put a range of templates to use in it (just make the one you want to use visible).

Hey GANTY the .psd file link isnt working. Whenever I click on it, it leads me to MediaFire but says that the file has been deleted

I use a modified version of one of your old templates.

By the way love the new template! My fav is the round collar.

Really...maybe Mediafire just automatically delete the uploads after a certain amount of time.

Useless aholes

Will put shorts and socks on the templates now and upload them somewere else

Umm yeahs I've encountered a problem. I'm just mucking around with it and making a practise guernsey cause I only just got Photoshop from a friend but when I click the base with the Magic Wand, it says "Could not use the magic wand because the target is a fill layer"

EDIT: Actually dw about it I solved it

1) You need to ensure you in the 'template' layer you want to edit.
2) Be sure to use 'Contiguous' is ticked.
3) Once the area is selected go to the 'Design' layer, and do what ever.

Hope this helps.

Yehs I just solved it before I refreshed the page. Thanks anyways

Another way to get rid of the excess when doing hoops etc is to simply create a white fill the size of your image, magic wand on the base layer and inverse, then delete from the white fill. If you send that white fill layer to the top then it will hide anything outside the extemities of the design.

Also, maybe link to a download of smeagle's designs from his paint tut for sashes/pinstripes/stripes/hoops/wide v/narrow v on this one? That's what I currently use?

That's similar to what I do, I have a selection pre-saved of the area of each manufacturers kit. I load that, invert the selection, select the design element layer (hoops, sash, whatever), delete and then all I'm left with is the design fitting inside the boundaries of the kit. If that makes any sense.

For some reason where you say click the colour box in the Layer Style window, it doesn't work for me, I can't change the colours, help please

Is this what you are talking about??

8.Go and click the red rectangle and “Color picker” should pop up now select the color you want the top of the right sock to be and click OK. I am going to make mine blue.

My only thought is that you are clicking on the wrong colour box. It is the small rectangle next to the "Blend Mode" drop down menu. Then as thw instuctions say "Color Picker" should pop up and then your free to make it whatever colour you want, whether it be ochre or royal blue or a jumper that is a combonation of both

Cheers, I'll try again later.
One other thing, when I use the lasso tool to outline something (is this what I'm meant to use to outline?) and try to put it in another window type thing, I only get the crawling ants outline, how do I get the actual pic in there?

 

[just_kick_it]

Nah its not the lasso tool you want it the magic wand tool set to a tolerance of 20. Im assuming this is for a logo or something, yeh?? So you select what you want with the magic wand and Ctrl+C to copy then Ctrl+V to paste it into a new window.

 

[HSSB]

cheers

No worries. Glad to see another Photoshoper

 

[HSSB]

not 100% sure yet mate, have to learn it properly first.

 

[just_kick_it]

If your struggling with anything in Photoshop just let me know and I should be able to help.

 

[HSSB]

how do you change the size of an image lol

 

[just_kick_it]

Click EDIT in the top menu bar, then go to Transform, then Scale. The top toolbars will change so you will be able to reposition, re-size, and rotate the image, among other things.

I'm on board too now- was a Paint.net fan, but after initially struggling, am on board.
I have tried to do to SANFL Jumpers, what Mero did for VFL/AFL... albeit I've only covered each clubs current jumper!

 

[just_kick_it]

Thats good to hear. I tried Paint.net because I couldnt get Photoshop to work for a little while there. I felt it was a massive step backwards after using Photoshop so much.

I got a start on this years SANFL jumpers. My plan was to make something like aidancdaman's guide but for the SANFL, but I gave up in the end because it was too hard to get all the correct sponsors logos and position them correctly.

You said you are going to do a history of the SANFL jumpers like Mero's VFL/AFL. PortBrillance created a history of PAFC jumpers and posted them somewhere on the Port board. You could message him and ask if you could use this as a reference to help you on your way.

ahem- I never said that exactly!
I'm not doing an exhaustive list, but I am starting something that I donlt know wher it will end.

I am having trouble with the socks though- how do I turn the plain socks into striped socks? Due to the way the socks are formatted, i'm finding this difficult...
