Re: MLB 12 The Show Custom Cover Thread

Wow all these covers are great. Great job guys! I was wondering if anyone can do a Jose Reyes cover in a miami jersey. I appreciate it!

That Ellsbury cover is sick.

This one is a little bit larger scale, so I understand if it can't be done, but I'd really appreciate a multi-player cover with Strasburg, Ellsbury, and Pujols.

2 questions: How do you use an image off the internet as an avatar, and not just a team logo?

Also, has there been a Ryan Braun one made yet?

If not...



Thanks.

Also, how do you make these? Maybe I could try a few. Or is it really hard?

2 questions: How do you use an image off the internet as an avatar, and not just a team logo? Have to donate to the site.

Also, has there been a Ryan Braun one made yet? Yes, see link below.

Also, how do you make these? Maybe I could try a few. Or is it really hard? Photoshop. There are tutorials and tips out there on how to make them.

Re: MLB 12 The Show Custom Cover Thread

CubFan, you should really look into color correction, some of these have some brutal discoloration. And this is just an honest question, whats with the overly smudgy effect you got going on?

I think it's just the effect I use has different results for each picture. The last one was thrown together in like 5 mins. But overall I don't think their smudgy. To make one look like the original with just the player and the colors is boring to me, just trying different things.

Maybe I'm confusing you with someone else in terms of the smudgy looking ones. The color correcting comment still holds true, would look a lot more professional, but thats just a strong suggestion.

Curtis Granderson (PS3/Vita)...

Very nice ADA, thanks for "playing my request." As promised, I printed it out and thanks to you I now have a much improved cover for my Vita copy of MLB 12.

For whatevever reason I couldn't get MS Paint to print this to properly fit the Vita case, so I went to a site that converts inches to pixels (Paint will only resize images by pixels or percentage). Using the dimentions for the Vita that you posted earlier in this thread, the numbers I came up with were: 3.86 X 4.92 inches = 371 X 472 pixels. Once I resized the image in Paint, I then had to go into 'Page Setup' and click the button that says "Adjust to 100% Normal Size", after that it printed perfectly. I'm sure this would've been much less complicated if I had a better photo program (one that automatically prints to specific measurements would be nice). FYI, I also had to add a very thin border around the image to make it easier to cut down with a scissor, otherwise it's very difficult to see the edges in the white portions of the image.

Again, thank you very much for doing this and for the heads up PM that you sent me. Here's a pic of the finished product...

Very cool. So the 3.86in x 4.92in were the correct size dimensions?

Those dimensions must be correct since those are the numbers I used to convert to pixels and my printout was spot on. To get super technical, MS Paint lowered the height by one pixel based on my coversion in order to maintain the aspect ratio (from 473 to 472). Obviously this difference is so neglegable that it's not even worth mentioning, but I just did anyway .

Awesome. Thanks for printing out your cover and posting the pic. Very cool seeing my cover in someone's case and now knowing that the Vita size is correct.
