A Way to make cards Holographic Rare using MS Paint

[Anbu-of-Sand]

Around the beginning weeks of April of 2010, a former member named [b]JayJack[/b] made a simple, yet very useful tutorial on how to make [b]Gold Rares without the use of Photoshop / GIMP[/b], but only using [b]MS Paint[/b]. I have been using this and really happy about it.

Now, my only question now is, can someone think of a similar tutorial except for making Holographic Rares? It'd be gladly appreciated. Using MS Paint of course as well. Here is a link to the Tutorial if it can help in any way necessary.

Sure that'd be great I'm thinking of getting GIMP soon anyways.

As I said before, it is impossible in Paint.

[Kaisu]

Yeah. Copy+Paste, then set it to Screen or Overlay. Lower the transparency if you want(Opacity).

Colour Dodge might work..

Color Dodge? Care to explain? If you mean Opaque, I've already tried it on MS Paint and it does not work.

Color dodge is... difficult to explain. I'm not entirely sure how it works. It's a layer option in gimp, as far as I know.

Just PM'ed it...

Holographic rares?

You mean like Ghost Rares? Or card holos? (The lines)

Holos can't be done on Paint, nor can Ghost Rares be done authentic-like without the use of Photoshop/GIMP.

Also, Ghost Rares would have to be done seperately each time, without a template.

The Lines. Wasn't entirely sure on what was the name.

May I ask how a card would be holo'd with the use of Photoshop / GIMP?

Using Gimp, you'd have to c&p a holo sheet on the card's pic, resize it, and set it to "Screen"... If you want, I can PM it to you...[img]http://forum.yugiohcardmaker.net/public/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif[/img]

Really? I've done it differently... Sure, there are multiple ways, but this is how I was taught:

[spoiler=Holo]1 - Save these two holo sheets.

2 - Start up GIMP and open up your card.
3 - Go to File -> Open as Layer or press Ctrl + Alt + O.
4 - Open up one of the holo sheets. Either works.
5 - Use the scaling tool (Shift + T) to resize the sheet to 244 x 248.
6 - Position your holo sheet over the card picture so the corners line up.
7 - Press Ctrl + L. Click the bar that says "Normal" and select "Dodge" in the drop-down menu.
8 - Go to Layer -> Merge Down and save your card.
9 - Your result should look like one of these:
