Hello everyone! I'm gonna teach you from making custom card images. These card images are the cards that have the background aura. Let me find an example.

See how the person has a green aura around him? That's how we'll make this custom card image.
.Step 1.
Go to a popular render website to find your render. Today, I'll be using planetrenders.com, and here is the render I'll be using. View it in full size and save it as PNG Image.
.Step 2.
Open up Photoshop (I'm using Photoshop 7.0) and open up the image. Select the part of the image represented in the picture.
Then, go to Edit and Select Copy.
.Step 3.
Open a New, and the pixels should be prepared for the copied image. Once the new is opened, press Ctrl and V to Paste the image, or go to Edit > Paste.
.Step 4.
Then, select the paint bucket tool. Make the color a very light shade of blue. Place it over the image and keep pressing, and the image should turn blue. (Not the background.)
.Step 5.
Next, open up Internet Explorer or FireFox. Go to Google and search "blue backgrounds" in Images. I'll be using this image as my background. Go to Files > New and set it to these settings. Then, go to your background image that you found on Google and copy it. Paste it onto that small square. Then, copy your COMPLETELY BLUE render and paste it onto your background.
.Step 6.
Make sure you have this window open. Go to Image > Image Size, and decrease the measurments my 10 pixels. Copy this image and paste it to this image.
.Step 7.
Time for the finishing touches. To make the the blur faint, but nice, go to Filters > Blur > Motion Blur. Make the angle 4 Degrees, and your finished picture should look like such:

And there you go, a Custom Card Image, with a Realistic touch. ^_^
