So... Lily+Whim=Rinoa? Harsh, Tide.
>_>? If you mean the numbers, Rinoa is 4, A, A, 2 (for Top, Right, left, bottom). You clearly need to replay FF8 CK. Fail.
Using the Magic Wand for removing white space is baaaaaaad. Leaves a nice jagged edge - for better results, zoom in and use the Polyganol/Magnetic Lasso to get right to the border. Takes longer, but looks better overall.
And as for making full decks, I've started a few, but mostly with custom templates. I tend to be pretty bad with graphics, though, so they're not really great.
I guess I might as well link to some of them here, though, so here they are.
(As for what I was saying about using the Magic Wand, look at the edge of the Black Frost or Lilith images. Those pretty clearly show what I mean about leaving that horrible white border. As for ones done with the lasso tools, look at Yurlungur or Mada. Most of those were Magic Wand-ed through laziness, so have the white edge. Which is probably why I've never got round to finishing a deck - too lazy, not as good as other card artists, etc. ;o
It depends.
Magic Eraser is fine on certain images. The one that I have right now used Magic Eraser. A good example of what not to use Magic Eraser on...Arnaud's official art. It literally deletes a portion of the art. In the end you expertiment a bit. Polygonal lasso works, but its takes way too damn long (you can do it, but I make cards for characters I like >_>. So this tends to be more scarce). I remember using Polygonal lasso for a few of the cards that I ended creating :|. As for the edges, you can also use Soften edges (I don't remember where this option is, but I know it exists!) to remove the jaggedness a bit. Believe me, I've fooled around enough with the Triple Triad stuff to kind of know what works and what does not.
