Help + FAQ
Updated: 4-18-2011

I ASSUME YOU ALREADY HAVE BASIC KNOWLEDGE OF GIMP/PHOTOSHOP.
If you don't, here's a guide for Photoshop users:

Open photoshop, click File->Open and choose the template PSD.

To edit~
Name: click on the name layer in the layers panel, choose text tool (the "[T]" icon) and click on the card name in the window. then type the new name
Circulation, Set ID, Password, Type, Effect, ATK, DEF, Creator (exceed only) also follow the same procedure.
Level: Open the level layer group by clicking on the arrow next to the Layer Group. Then disable the level layers you don't want by clicking on their eye icons. If a layer doesn't have the icon, it won't be seen. e.g. If I want LV4, I will remove the eye icons from LV5,LV6,LV7...LV11
Picture: Paste the picture onto the template, press Ctrl+T to resize it to fit insize the frame box exactly, then click on any tool on the tool bar and make your choice at the dialog box that appears.
Holo sticker: Use the eye icons to enable the sticker you want and disable the other(s)
To make Exceed Cards: Enable (click the empty box next to the layer icon to bring the 'eye') all green layers (some are in layer groups)

• What type of monster cards are supported?
All that I know of: Normal, Effect, Ritual, Fusion, Synchro, Dark Synchro, Token, Exceed + an additional recolorable background is supplied, which by default comes in Slifer Red color.

• What type of Spells/Traps are supported?
All known types are supported

• I don't have the right fonts!
All required font links are provided in this post.

• Some elements seem choppy.
Since I could not find HQ images of WATER attribute or Dark Synchro level stars, they are upscaled and look choppy. They will be fixed if in later versions someone can provide HQ images of such icons.

• I don't think this alignment of [card part] is correct.
All layers can be moved It's recommended that you do not move the non-text layers. Creator can only be Edited for Exceed Monsters.

• So this is free? Or maybe it's too good to be free
*sigh* Yes it is. I did put in at least 10-12 hours of total effort into making this, so I hope you like it. Payment is not required but reps/donations/thankful comments are very much appreciated. Read for rights below.

• What about rights? So I can't do anything to this since it's free?
Do whatever you want to this PSD, just don't do two things:
1. Don't claim it as your own (you don't have to always credit if you use it, although that would be nice.)
2. Don't sell it in a shop. Please refrain from selling individual elements from this template too, I have ripped them ALL myself (unless otherwise stated).
3. You can mirror this link but don't post it outside this thread.

Permission to use elements has been given to: Zextra
(Requests can be made, but I reserve the right to decide whether permission can be given or not.)

• I don't think I require such a huge template...
After finishing your card, merge all layers and use the Image Size command and then use Save As jpeg or whatever, OR save a copy of the template itself resized [without merging], which you can use to make your cards.

• Can you guarantee updates?
Patience is the key, no 'guarantee' as such though.

Suggestions, questions and constructive criticism is very much welcome

...pure epicness. Are you releasing it?

Harpie King appears in the link that was supposed to be a Spell.

[Judαs]

Oops, fixed.

Fixed link: http://i52.tinypic.com/oo4fq.jpg

If at least 10 people request, I'm willing to release it for free. (No selling in shops though, do whatever else you want. Not tagged). It's a 20mb PSD

edit: I will check the poll, if at least 10 "yes" I'll post a DL link

[.Nu-13]

How did you make it BTW? Because I can swear that I saw it somehwere... oh, I know:

NVM, I'm blind.

What about Rituals, Synchros and Traps?

[Judαs]

What about Rituals, Synchros and Traps?

Haha, I made it from this image someone had posted on YCM.

Judgement Dragon (Too big. Click here to view image.)

All monsters are included in the same PSD, except Synchros (I'd forgotten, will add them too). Slifer template is also there.

Spell and trap are in development, but will be a separate PSD. I've got all the resources for them but I'm lacking the patience to spend another 3 hours on a new template, so I will make those later.

[.Nu-13]

Can you post examples of Synchros and Rituals?

[Judαs]

Synchros aren't ready yet, like I said but I do have a base image and will make it by tomorrow.

Here's a ritual: Sorry I couldn't make a proper card so I made this one in a hurry.

JUST AN EXAMPLE KTHX

[.Nu-13]

Looks fine. Can you PM me when you make Traps and Synchros?

[Judαs]

I wasn't sure, so I completed Synchros:

Here's another quick example. Synchros don't look as appealing as the rest, sorry.

EDIT: Oh lol I did it again, this card still has Mystical Elf's password, ATK/DEF, circulation and set ID. Sorry.

[.Nu-13]

Why the image border is blue?

[Judαs]

Oops, noticed. It was actually a rather strong tint of blue in the original card and I left it like that, the card also has a red tint on the white parts.

[.Buddha]

it is really awesome^^
but the sticker is a bit to big thought^^

are you selling a template?

[.Rai]

Wow. Really good. Which is an understatement, I would use it if I could but I have my own template (^^).

Everything is practically perfect but I would suggest getting a high-res of the Attributes, they're slightly rough around the edges, let's say.

[Metal-Hero U]

Now those are just Pure Epic! Bummer for me in a way if u realsed them cuz i use Magic set editor T_T

[Legend Zero]

Very impressive, but as stated the Attributes are lacking.

[Heavens Guardian]

kk i would Love to use this

[Judαs]

AS STATED: If I get 10 "Yes" I will release it for FREE.

@Cursed Reaction: I'm sorry, but I couldn't get HQ images of WATER, WIND and FIRE. If you could provide them I'd add them to the release

The rest of the attributes are ripped from the cards itself: that is the way they were supposed to look.

And basically everything is editable except creator (which remains © 1996 Kazuki Takahashi). You might want to adjust the name alignment as I've observed it differs from card to card.

@.Buddha: That was the sticker on the original card, anyway you can resize everything in the template

[.Nu-13]

You can get HQ attributes on Wikia

[Judαs]

Those aren't real. Check them with the original cards.

Ugh, quickly 4 people more say yes, I'm in such a hurry to release

EDIT: Also, @Future Paradise: please specify what you would like changed?

[.Nu-13]

But they still look better

Seriously, why wait to those 10 people? You already see that people like it much. Just release it
