OH!!! Haha yeah my bad. I thought for some reason that's what you wanted. Oh jeeze... too much late-night partying. Umm.. not really. I just center the symbol over an old one (173.0 x 627.5) and then Alt+Shift resize it until it fits in the box. Rather inexact, but it seems to work okay.
Haha, okay. Thanks! I did a couple already:
What do you think?
EDIT: Shoot... I messed up the wording in the reminder text for Mistform Ultimus... It should read "even if this card isn't in play."
@sbq92—
Ooooo! Nice! I actually am working myself on rendering the entire Legions set. I think I'm somewhere in C.... started before this whole token madness and havent gotten a chance to touch it since, hehehe.
@Meteor—
Merry birthday! (I say it incorrectly just because it annoys my brother hehe)
Is this closer to what you want?
I have all the other colors done, too...it's just a matter of putting them into the psd and then it's hosting time!
@FPM: Your templates are simply stunning. I am amazed by how you can do this kind of stuff :D.
I will surely have to download the templates and good around with them. I agree with some of the statements about the bark on the green cards though- it just seems a bit off.
I just checked and there's actually discussion about that very thing going down in their forums right now. I swear I didn't start it. Our very own sbq92 seems to have. Thanks man! That's a really huge compliment, and I seriously love you right now. (In a completely heterosexual way, might I add. ;))

Hehe, well hey, I'm just promoting them. You're the one who made them.
BTW, how's that grey land coming along? I have an urge to make the Urzatron, but I personally am not too fond of the brown land.

Completely understandable. To each his own, as the saying goes. How's this beauty?
If that floats your boat, just paste it into the appropriate layer group in the psd and set it's coordinates to 374.0 x 522.0 (that should be exactly one pixel left and up of center with a background-style layer)

YES!!! Thank you! That's perfect! I think the love is mutual now (heterosexually speaking, of course :p).
EDIT: Here's a nice little land I put together with it:
just one thing i can't get yuour token psd to download? any help...
What's going wrong for you? I can upload it to Rapidshare, if Megaupload is what's being wenchy... it's just that Larme didn't approve when I used Rapidshare for the card psd's, but I seem to be having more troubles with Megaupload.
Hey, FPM, this is artfreakwiu from the MSE2 site (just so you know :P) and I wanted to let you know that your templates are nearly complete for use in the program. I'm having problems with the casting cost, but beyond that they are complete (and I've asked for help with the casting cost, so it's just a matter of time :D) In the meantime, you can find a download link for the template update at http://magicseteditor.sourceforge.net/node/373#comment-2349 (just scroll all the way down, it's at the bottom) and let me know how it looks and where it can be approved! I'd hate to have butchered such amazing templates by overlooking anything ;).

Awww.... the glory of making the cards outside of MSE is gonna diminish once those go up....
Not necessarily. Ironically, I will be sticking with Photoshop. I'm not even using my own computer, and my roommate already has Photoshop, and I'd rather not get into DLing programs on his computer. It'll be nice for all those who don't already have/use Photoshop or don't even know how to use it.
That is the idea behind MSE2. I'm a big VS player and initially got into MSE2 converting my VS PSDs over to it so that my non-photoshop savvy friends could also use them. I still use the photoshop templates though because photoshop gives me limitless possibilities and room for creativity (ex-> images outside of the frame, different/mainpulated fonts, outlandish costs (1,000,000), etc.) MSE2 is for the casual custom card creator (or the ones that can't afford/or won't bootleg photoshop (I saved for my own thank you very much:p).)

@Comic_Book_Guy—
Oh. My. Goodness. !!!.
I am still completely wigging out about this whole thing...I never thought it would go this far, but it is beyond awesome that it has. Okay... now for the nitpicks:
. .
1 - Title should be in MatrixBoldSmallCaps, not just Matrix
2 - Mana cost should be knocked south just a pixel or two
3 - P/T numbers are off a bit...P should go up and T should move down. I understand that you use a different font so you get the * for the variable P/T creatures, so I won't mention that. (Oh wait... doh! ;))
4 - Type-Subtype line font should be a smidgine bigger
5 - Is there a way to have the artist brush lead the artist's name? I have no idea if it's even possible...I'm just asking. It looks fine without, but better with imho
6 - The textbox text is a little bit small, as well as the space alotted for the text: The box should extend just a bit more toward the east and west walls of the box
On the other templates....
1 - Would you like some frames without the "fun" accents for the gold multicolors that use more than one textbox? I just thought it looked kind of funny with all those colors and then green is the only one to get any fun
2 - The 5-color gold frame looks too red, imho. Is there a way to drop the other colors a bit lower so red doesn't get sole reign of the textbox?
3 - In the 5-color hybrid, blue seems kind of left out to dry with it's little itty bitty space behind the artist text. Kind of a repeat, but can red share the textbox?
One last note...
Bad design on my part, but the bolt knocks out some of the text (in this example, the letter "a"). Is it possible to put one of those fancy png masks over that part of the box just for the artifacts? If not, I'm sure the users can figure it out to use a few spaces to knock the "a" to the next line.
This is so cool... I'm still geeking out about this! Wow...... I've been using MSE for a long time now, and I never thought I could contribute like this! Seriously... just... wow. Thanks a whole heap, mon! :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
Hey, that's looking pretty good! Aside from the few nitpicky things mentioned by FPM, the frames looks great for MSE! Well done, everyone who worked on that.
And a big thanks, once again, to FirePenguinMaster for coming up with these amazing frames.
Alright, I've addressed ALMOST everything and will post an update as soon as I have those masks made ;), thanks for reviewing it!
As far as the hybrid and multicolor blends go, those are fully regulated by the programmed. All that I've provided in the download are the basic frames and masks that help the program render hybrids, and it's a lot of work to add new ones (so when I'm done fixing the template, I'll see what I can do ;)).
-CBG
EDIT: Ugh... I'm having a lot more trouble adding masks referencing card backgrounds than I used to. Basically it all used to be in one file, now files reference other files and it's giving me hell.
Here's what I've fixed:
1,2,3,4,5,6
Everything else has to wait for now (including the casting problem, because I have to get going shortly.)
The update is up. You can download it via the same link as before. Just type [O] for a white brush, and [p] for a black brush ;).

Keep up the great work!
Is there any way that you could make them able to work on MSE? That would be so cool.

It's freeware that lets the less Photoshop-savvy cardmakers out there render their cards all nice and purdy like.

But I have a question, how did you get that reverse-bevel and emboss effect on the mana symbols? (like how it seems to indent into the card)
In Photoshop, when you're monkeying with the bevel settings, there are two radial buttons: one says Up and the other Down. I clicked Down.

Kewl. I'll try to have it up by the end of the day.
