Just Crouton Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 I've noticed people on YCM who have card art as avatars, and the images are from holo-foil or messy/ugly scans. Normally, I use card images from these 3 archives.

Step 1: Download GIMP [url="http://www.gimp.org/"]Here.[/url] It's free. Install it. It takes a little while. Watch some wrestling. Jeff Jarrett and Karen Angle are renewing their vows to Kurt Angle's chagrin. Oh! The tutorial! Step 2: Acquire the card you want to edit. For this tutorial, I'll use this image.

When the menu drops down, click on Brightness-Contrast, the 4th choice on the list. A new box will open for Brightness-Contrast. Here, mess with the brightness and contrast to your liking. Increasing the contrast makes the image look better, but the higher the contrast, the less detail. Afterwards, your image will look something like this.
