^ Oh sorry. I thought you were talking about rasterizing the text layer and manually manipulating it.

Nah. I only do that if I need to fine-tune anything at the end.

And waylost, shush.
 
Fluffy, Damien, Tenchi:

no no no no no no!!
Yall are missing the actual solution lol. what yall suggested is some complicated ways to get AROUND the problem, but not how to fix it the easy way changing what is really wrong (most likely.)

The Leading is fucked up. What you need to do is click Window>Character. When the character box comes up, look to the upper right hand corner where there is a letter A, with a little up and down arrow next to it, next to a text box that will prolly say "auto" in it. it looks kinda like this:

/\
| A
\/

like that kinda. Then you want to go in and select somethin small, like 12pt. or whatever. The leading is the vertical distance between your lines.

If you got a 12pt. font, and you want a tight box of text (lol tight box) then you might use 10pt. leading. if you want it to be double spaced, you would use a higher number. Your leading sounds like it got set mad high and that is why it is doin that. check your font size, set it to 12, and set your leading to 11 or 10 and see what happens when you type somethin that goes over a few lines. it should be fine now. a lot of times in photoshop when you go from a larger project to a small one your shit gets re set and the leading stays how it was when u were usin a size 48 font in a bigger picture, and when you go on somethin small like the trading card you gotta re set it for smaller scale shit.


At Pdub......I dont remember relaly how long it took...not too long...About a hour would be right I guess

Nuh-uh. Shoddy workmanship, and inferior materials fail. Only buy original BL trading cards for the best possible collecting experience.

I think the skin doesn't do justice at all. Someone good at graphics should make a template and people can just save it and edit in the info from ms paint. Not trying to be awkward just it could be more unique.

Are you blind yo? Theres a template, 2 different versions of it, saved in here where you can save and edit the info from paint. lol. what "skin"?

Well...we aint gotta "bother finding a standard" , there kinda IS a standard yo...we already got the templates n shit, and everyone so far has been stickin to that......If you noticed, all of the cards so far been made the same with the same template. Not sayin you aint got a right to do what you want but the whole idea is that they are the same becuz its a "set" you feel me? thats why we all been makin cards off the same template...the idea is to fill in the same card, different for each BL'er, thats kinda the whole point .
 
i only mentioned anything because some other guy seemed to be complaining about the other template so i just replied with a suggestion but either way don't care, i'm gonna make the cards very similar to the template just how mine are neatened up a bit and was just saying if anyone needed a predone psd to make it easier then i had one and if not it doesn't matter either way.

just enabling.

keep up the good work guys!

(and when i say neatened up i just mean a border and slightly different text because it makes it easier and a bit more fun but i'm not saying anyone else should do it that way)
 
Good looks on the PSD idea, i didnt think of that. So im with you, if anyone wants the actual psd file to fill in on their own i got that. Dont worry about what "that other guy" says, he just likes to stir the pot.
