    Re: NCAA Basketball 09 Custom Cover Gallery and Templates

    I made one myself, and I can't get it the right size for printing. I got one to print the right size that i took off the internet by opening it in paint, but for this one I made it is still way over-sized. How do I print it the right size?

      did you use DMO's template? cuz once you have your cover done and saved as a .png, just open it up in paint and it will print to size.

      MAKE SURE WHEN YOU FIRST START YOUR COVER YOU DON'T MESS WITH THE DIMENSIONS AT ALL.

        I used DMOs template, I didn't mess with the dimensions. Could me running an old version of Photoshop have something to do with it? I haven't updated in quite a while.

          I don't think, i use Photoshop 7 and have no problems. Open up the template in PS and post what the dimensions are, just checking to see if by chance you changed em with out realizing? Also did you mess at all with the resolution of the template?



          EDIT: When you open it in paint is it like REALLY big, cuz if so it is supposed to be because it is a high res template. When it print it though it should print to size. Tell you what open up the cover in paint and click Image->Attributes. Post what the dimensions are with that also. And make certain that the units selected is in inches.

            Alright, I'm on version 7 too, and when I open the template I get a message before it opens..."Some text layers contain fonts that are missing..." but it does open.

            Didn't mess with resolution, dimensions are:
            1527x2162 pixels
            5.09x7.207 inches
            300 pixels/inch

            I save it as .PNG and I am unable to open it in paint.
            I save as a jpeg and open in paint.

            Yes, it is REALLY big, heres the dimensions:
            Inches: 15.91x22.52
            Pixel dimensions are the same as in Photoshop, but this is much larger.

                That's the problem. First off you should install the fonts, if you don't know how to then read the readme I included in the folder. If paint is messing up your cover that much just keep it open in Photoshop and print from there, I only say open it in paint since most people don't have anything other than paint.

                  DMO has got you covered. Just install the fonts and print it from PS...I am still boggled to why it screws up when you open it in paint.

                        I'm not really liking the one I made, I'm struggling to find a good photo. All the ones I'm finding are under 1000 pixels, can you make them look good with images that small?

                          If you shrink the template down. I gave high res instructions on my site, it shows you how to downsize the template so the image looks better. But actually when you print the image and lets say you stretched the player to fit the full res template, it makes it so the template looks great and from a distance usually your picture doesn't look bad. Also if its that important for you to make your own I could probably find you a good high res image to use.
