Promo and Box Set Cards

[skibulk]

It goes like this:

1) Gaussian Blur - 0.5 px
2) Image Size - 745 by 1040
3) Smart Sharpen - 1 px

Ok, I will try, thanks! I have Photoshop on another PC.

Skibulk is right, but the difference between this and a plain bicubic sharper resize in this particular case are minimal. You must have missed a setting or something, you shouldn't get a blurry image unless a very primitive method of resizing is used - nearest neighbor maybe.

[A.R.]

Oops... My Photoshop is so old that it doesn't have neither "Smart Sharpen" filter nor "Bicubic Sharpen" option It has only usual "Sharpen" filter and "Bicubic" option (that doesn't help at all).

P.S. Possibly Bicubic resize + usual "Sharpen" may help - need to check that...

[Xitax]

Yes, they need some sharpening. I use Irfanview, and after cropping XLHQ's I sharped about 6% and get a good result (batch resize settings).

[extreme]

yup, try bicubic resize, then sharpen.

[A.R.]

Ok, I have finally got some time to experiment... Photoshop's Bicubic Resize + Sharpen works fine. IrfanView's Resample + Sharpen works too, but the result seems to be slightly worse.

and this

[skibulk]

I scanned the elusive "Astral" Fling and Sylvan Ranger. I've scoured the internet for information on their release, but couldn't find any. Does anybody here know their origin?

[Teppic]

Thanks extreme. They look brilliant!

skibulk, looks like they are WPN promos.
The DCI watermark Fling is #50 (2010), the Star one #69 (2011).
Similarly Sylvan Ranger #51 (2010) and #70 (2011).

sorry skibulk, forgot who did what.

Hi guys... Just wanted to check if we have an update on the Missing promo list so that I can get cracking. I have quite a few of the old elusive promos but not a lot of the newest bunch but at least I can get us up-to-date quickly.

Is this post correct as of now?
