Jersey Cresting

tkachukfan · 03-31-2002, 12:46 PM

How do make my logos on jerseys look crested? I need some specific directions since I'm new to Paint Shop Pro which is what I use.

ok well

start off by making a layer under the logo

then expand that layer 1 or 2 pixels and fill it in white or whatever color

tkachukfan · 03-31-2002, 01:34 PM

What kind of layer do I put- Vector, Raster, or Adjustment? And what tool do I use to make the layer one or two pixels bigger?

i think its a rastor layer

but i dont know anymore about it i am not a jersey guy
i wish i could help

How do you make jerseys.

you can also do this:
1)go to add a layer style use "stroke"
2)set size to "2" opacity to 100%
3)set desired color of outline
4)click "ok"
and there you have it an outlined logo

Earl, are those directions for Paint Shop Pro or Photoshop?

Earl · 03-31-2002, 05:04 PM

sorry i read your post wrong,they are for photo shop

tkachukfan · 03-31-2002, 06:42 PM

That's Ok, I have both

tkachukfan · 03-31-2002, 06:50 PM

And Earl, could you please explain these directions a little more in-depth because I don't really know Photoshop, and I'm not used to using it.

Earl · 03-31-2002, 07:00 PM

ok do you see in the pic below the white arrow.click on that and a pop up will come up,then follow the direction i said in my first reply.any problems contact me on msn.

tkachukfan · 03-31-2002, 07:12 PM

I would contact you on MSN, but I don't have it. But here's probably my last question. When I paste a logo onto the jersey, and then do the directions you told me, the line that i wanted to make just around the logo, (cresting) goes all the way around the new area i had pasted, making a box. Can you help?

Earl · 03-31-2002, 07:17 PM

make the logo crested in another boxset,then copy the pic "merged".then past it onto your jersey

tkachukfan · 03-31-2002, 07:23 PM

Do you mean another "boxset" as like a new image? Because I've tried that and it does that same thing

Earl · 03-31-2002, 07:36 PM

yes thats what i mean but when you copy the image you have to use "copy merged" then paste it on the jersey

tkachukfan · 03-31-2002, 07:47 PM

The outline still looks like a box around the logo. I need to outline the logo exactly

Earl · 03-31-2002, 07:49 PM

ok send me the logo @ elmcevoy@rogers.com and i will do it for you

tkachukfan · 03-31-2002, 07:53 PM

Oh no I don't want to make you do it. I need to learn on my own. I'll just keep trying. Sorry if i've been a pain in the @$$

Earl · 03-31-2002, 07:55 PM

lol its no pain bud.thats why i do this,because i enjoy it

ivycreek1 · 03-31-2002, 09:05 PM

Sounds like you don't have the background of logo set as a transparency, if you do that the stroke should be on the edge of the logo.

tkachukfan · 03-31-2002, 09:28 PM

How do I set the background of the logo as a transparency?

Earl · 03-31-2002, 09:40 PM

personally i just erase it myself then use the line tool to fix up any rough edges then i crest it

tkachukfan · 03-31-2002, 09:58 PM

Thank you for the help Earl and ivycreek, I think I have it down now. I really appreciate your help

hockeyrocksca · 04-02-2002, 06:08 PM

how do you know to use the rastor layer? explain please.

ivycreek1 · 04-05-2002, 07:47 PM

most of the time your graphics program will let you know ...so if you are working in vector and you want to make an adjustment or filter that requires it to be rasterized a window will pop up telling you

04-08-2002, 04:03 PM

umm.. i just use drop shadow... and stroke...
