    How to make graphics/banners for dynasties?

    I love reading/making dynasties. However, my biggest weakness is my lack of graphics. Many other dynasty makers create awesome graphics. I don't know how to make them, though I want to. Can anybody give me some advice on how to make them?

    It really is a complicated process that takes the right set up and a lot of practice.

      GIMP - The GNU Image Manipulation Program: The Free and Open Source Image Editor



      this is the program I have been using recently. its great for editing, cropping and such. theres so much to do in the program it can be a little overwhelming. but just play around with it a little bit.

        also, photobucket.com is really easy to use to link your photos to this site.

            The scissors select tool works real well for cutting/cropping players body's out of pictures. It has a smart outline for that tool to where it automatically outlines the player or object. Click a starting point and drag n click along the edges of ur desired object. You can also click on any of the outline and move it if it does not outline ur object properly. You can then open multiple layers of pictures and turn them into one picture. Open ur first photo under the layer tab on toolbar and selct new layer. You can add a few layers to make one picture. This one I made had 4 layers to it. This program just takes alot of trial n error before ya learn it.
