Braves Cuts

[McCarroll21]

I'm working on getting some cuts back on my computer. I haven't had any saved on here since my computer crashed back in the day. Since then I've been doing signatures and haven't had to have a high res picture to do them so I just cut and discard it.

Anyway, I'll post them here when I get them finished for those who want to use them.

[McCarroll21]

Yeah, all of them except the Kelly one are from this weekend. The Kelly one was one I had already done and happened to still have on my computer. As far as alternate blues, we'll have to wait for them to play in them again.

[JCStone7]

Can I request a Charlie Morton one :D

[McCarroll21]

He's the one I'm doing next. There will be a Morton, maybe two, later tonight or tomorrow.

I've made one with the Chipper picture, but you have to change it to a .jpeg image. Hoepfully I can get a picture of my Chipper one on the wall soon.

Another Morton and probably Brandon Jones one coming tomorrow. I've put an index in the first post that has a link to each of them done on here so if you come back later you won't have to go looking through the thread trying to find them. Comments/criticism always accepted. Some of them turn out better than others.

[HTF]

Some Morton ones after Thursday would be cool, it sucks that there are about a total of 4 pictures of him on the Internet.

Glad you're doing this, now it's less time I have to spend doing it :D

[braveschopbraves]

do you want me to add some of mine to this thread? I got a lot of Braves, I could add it to this thread if you want.

[JCStone7]

They are for makings sigs/avatars/wallpaper etc. Just for GFX purposes

[McCarroll21]

Normally I keep a database of cuts like this so I won't have to do as much when someone asks for a signature. I decided that while I was trying to build that database back up after losing everything I had, I'd share them with those here that do GFX stuff.

Nothing of real importance to people who aren't into doing GFX work though.

[jschafer5]

Do you have the original picture of the Jo-Jo Reyes cut? I just wanna use the original for my background...

It's amazing in both starts I can't find a single picture of Morton where it doesn't look like he's constipated. If someone can find one can they post it?

[JCStone7]

Can I request a Francoeur cut in alt blue jersey? Please! :D

[McCarroll21]

A few things have to happen for that:


They have to play in them.
Francoeur has to do something in that game to have the AP take his picture.

Mc, can I request a Brian McCann hitting? Preferably in the home or away uniforms, I'd rather not use a alternative. Thanks

[McCarroll21]

I'll probably be posting some more with the pictures I added from last night's game. Photographers have something against McCann's sweet swing! They never take a picture of him until he's rounding third on homers, probably because he's so fast he gets from the swing to third so quickly.

[josephw000]

How about one of our newest Brave? Tavarez? That'd be cool. Make sure you get his ERA in there too......

I've seen one of McCann, but it was from the back and he was in his follow through......

Haha, yeah I've noticed that a lot too. But no rush, just whenever.

That's Gonzo, not Tavarez. The caption said it's Tavarez though so I'll give you a pass.

I get most of mine from sportsline. If you go to the box score for each game and click on photos, any of the AP photos can be re-sized into some hi-resolution pictures.

Here's a picture from tonight

http://images2.sportsline.com/u/ap/photos/PNC103080921_lower.jpg

If you replace the lower with 1024x768, it'll convert it to hi-res.

oh ok. thanks for the tip

[espn4]

are there any other good sites out there?

[espn4]

i was looking some pictures of Quinton Ganther(Tennessee Titans rookie running back), and sportsline didnt have any. Of course its gonna have to be a preseason pic, since he's a rookie. and post sites dont have any, including sportsline. but i was wondering if there was any other good sports pic sites out there... with high quality pics. it doesnt have to have Quinton Ganther... that was just an example. If anybody knows any sites or has any help... i'd greatly appriciate it. thanks

[espn4]

im really having a tough time finding good high quality pictures. if anyone can help me out please do

Other than the ones that are posted in the general MLB category, all of the pictures I've uploaded into our Image Gallery should be hi-resolution pictures.

I stopped uploading pictures for a while but started back starting with Thursday's game and will continue to do it whenever I think about them.

My 1st attempt at a proper cut (pen tool):

[McCarroll21]

Pen tool FTW!

[jschafer5]

Looks pretty good. When I do it, I usually put the anchor points 2-3 pixels inside the player (zoom to like 600 or 700), you'cant tell the difference, and you leave out the outer stuff. Also when your done, go to edit-matting-defringe, on 1 pixel.

[McCarroll21]

When I'm outlining the player, I get as close to the player as possible and then when I make the selection, I contract the selection 1 pixel, then go in and clean up any areas that need it, then feather it .2. After that, select inverse and delete everything other than the player.

That's exactly what I did, except for the zoom to 600 part, it was a 3000 px pic, it would've taken till Christmas.
