    Re: NCAA Basketball 09 Custom Cover Gallery and Templates

    I think that picture would be impossible, I wouldn't even know how to put that on a cover. I could look for another but since it was so long ago I doubt there is high res images

        Those are just awesome. I need to learn effects like that. I've been playing around and got some stuff to work. I know this isn't a basketball cover, but this is what I came up with tonight. Tell me what you think. I'll start on basketball here soon. The Madden forum done died.

          Oh I forgot to send you my settings, my bad, it always takes a long time for photoshop to load. That is very good though, you're on the right track, its just too bright for my likes. I think you probably have overlay at 100, that's just a guess, when usually I only put it at 55%. Other than that very good.

            oh ok....no biggie...just thought it would be cool to get the fab 5 on my cover somehow.

            How about my boy Randolph Childress? Anybody got any better pics of him? This is the best I could find, but I'm sure there are better out there....



            ...sorry for all the old school request!

              JasonH_TKG, you are my hero. I kneel before you.

              I just may get back into covers. Those AP pics are amazing.

                What are your settings anyways?

                  Well here we go:

                  Unsharp Mask: Amount: 50%, Radius: 34.9, Threshold: 0
                  Dodge: Pixels: 170, Range: Highlights, Exposure: 10%
                  Burn: Pixels: 35, Range: Highlights, Exposure: 20%
                  Smudge: Pixels: 40, Mode: Normal, Strength: 1%

                  Basically what I do on nearly all covers is I do unsharp mask. Then after that I will burn the shadows a little bit more, do not over-do it. After that I dodge the whole image, including some shadows, make sure you have a big brush for this, trust me. After I do all that I will smudge only the skin, never smudge the eyes or hair, including beards, etc. Also I like to not smudge sweat spots if the quality is alright on the picture. Next after I smudge I duplicate the layer. Change the new layer style to overlay (if its a white guy do multiply). Mess around with the opacity, generally its around 55% for each. Then after that it will probably be dark so I will duplicate the ORIGNIAL layer again. Change that layer style to screen which will make it a lot lighter. What you have to do is determine the opacity by yourself. You obviously don't want the picture too bright but you don't want it too dark either. That is basicaly everything I do.

                            I think calbears actually looks on par with yours, if not better

                            Great job. Keep it up.

                                Thanks I will, and nothing personal, but obviously your gonna say something like that. Cyclone could work for EA and make the official cover and you would still say that inferior ones are better than his. Its kinda getting old. Your a good cover maker, but i think sometimes your ego gets in the way.
