Lookin good. Make sure your link is to the right place. Use the same link that you used for the [IMG] code and replace 640 with img. That will send it to the full-res version. Good job, only thing I'd say is work on your cutting of the image and the skin. You can see the background around the player. Also, what are you using to cut him out? As for the skin, make sure you use 50% on the color correct or otherwise it will sort of look unnatural. If you need an image source let me know. Not a fan of their uniform from last year.

Okay will do! I use the quick selection tool all together to cut my player out an then check around the edges to make sure it's cutting along perfectly. I'll make sure to CC 50% on the skin! I realized I had the "fans" overlapping the player a little bit and yes! I would love to have an image resource if possible!I'm also not a huge fan of the uni's last year either...

The quick selection tool probably isn't the best way to cut out a player. I personally use the polygonal lasso tool and others may use the pen tool. If you need links for teams official colors to color correct, let me know. That way you can edit the road grays with the right color too. The image source is Daylife. There's an image trick to get the full-res version of an image but only works with Getty and Reuters. PM to get the fix. Don't want to litter the thread with it, takes a little bit to explain. Also, make sure you link to the full-res version of your cover so people can access it if they'd like to use/print it.

I do as well. I also like to use cuts from SCW and sportzin

I like it, but I don't like the color changes in the 12, logo and stitches of the baseball. Some do, but I don't think it looks uniform. The back image isn't so bad, but the sickly old Toronto blue just looks bad as the background. That isn't really something you can fix if you are using an old Toronto pic, unless you use the red. However, the "sickly old Toronto blue" is just my opinion.
