Thanks for the explanation! I've used your video as reference to make art work for two enclosures I got from eternal rival. Couldn't have done it without your help.

@@benjimiguel17 Usually the paper is high quality glossy paper. The ones that really make the colors show and pop. If you're cutting it out yourself, take your time when cutting out each button hole.

You're very welcome. Heads up though, as of this video FocusAttack is having a 2-3weeks for processing time on custom art orders, cause they got really backed up after EVO.

When I scale the image to fit inside of my arcade stick layout. There is a large portion of the art that is outside of the red border. How can I get rid of this overhang in the art. I tried to crop it but gimp's crop tool is more annoying than it should be. I would like to take this to a print shop so I want to get it as close as possible

@DimzNoms 11 күн бұрын

Sure I can help! Select the Overprint layer (the layer with the red border) -> Select the Fuzzy Wand tool [U] -> Click the inside of the red border with the tool -> Press [Ctrl + I] to invert the selection (Now everything outside the red border is selected.) -> Select the desired layer that you wish to cut out -> Now Press [Ctrl + X] to CUT everything in the selection, on that current layer. You can then select different layers and CUT them out too as long as the outside area of the red border is fuzzy-wanded. Also pressing [Ctrl + A] Un-Fuzzy-wands everything. If you no longer want an area fuzzy-selected.

Can I use GIMP to create an artwork for the PS5 controller? I'm not good at spraying and painting so I decided to use decal skins, but I still can't find the app's design and the template.

Every time I try to color the background it just covers the entire image in that green. Sorry suck at any art programs. Edit: Figured that part out now I have a lot of options you don't have showing so I just messed with those until I got it. Now I'm trying to adjust artwork, the floating layer is working all weird for me IDK. Hopefully this comes out good, thank you so much for the help I just bought the monoprice dark matter, and focus attack isn't printing them I guess anymore but since I'll be getting it print and cutting myself hopefully all will be good.

@DimzNoms Жыл бұрын

Make sure that you're on the correct layer and that, that layer is lower on the hierarchy than other layers

@TheVoidofNothing11 Жыл бұрын

@@DimzNoms Yeah something is off because I have issues with fuzzy tool as well. Anyway something is way off with the template and my stick because I designed like five went to kinkos and wasted 20 bucks. I have the monoprice dark matter which it does say the artwork is off on the site, but I see others posting about it so I don't know. Hopefully I can get the art changed. Ya know I did convert to pdf because that's how kinkos printed it out do I need to do something different when converting to a pdf? Edit: For anyone doing this and getting printed yourself , make sure to measure when you get it printed. Have either the plexi or a tape measure unless you have sharper eyes then me. Printed on 11x17, but it was fit to page. Make sure you tell the printers ACTUAL SIZE, the focus attack templates can be oversized.

@sml91490 4 ай бұрын

Do you have any color correction tips in regards to preparing for print? I'm worried my art will print out too dark. Focus attack makes some suggestions in regards to adjusting the levels, but they use photoshop in their example, not gimp.

@DimzNoms 4 ай бұрын

Not sure. I haven't had a color situation as of yet. 1st I would tell you to maybe do a test print to see if your print comes out too dark or even try to check it on different displays (if you have access to). Aside from that I would look into GIMP's CMYK features and see if that would help your situation (if the test print didn't go well).

You can, but 100% yes IF you are getting a custom layout print that you will have to cut yourself.

how do i add button prompts on the art, like square, circle, triangle, X etc ..

@DimzNoms 10 ай бұрын

Well you're going to do that one yourself by possibly googling "Xbox/PS button icons" and cropping/cutting them out and then placing them one of your art layers.

I want to print in my own home epson printer, how to do that after all these steps? A4 size paper.

@DimzNoms 4 ай бұрын

Well most fightsticks have a canvas surface that's bigger than most home printer beds. So I would say that your first thing to do is find out if your fighstick is small enough for you to print at home. If it is, then most likely A4 paper will do the trick.

why does my pc not open up the template?

@DimzNoms 6 ай бұрын

Do you have the template set to 'Open With' GIMP or any other photo editing software that accepts .psd files? If not, right-click the template file and have it 'Open With' a program that accepts .psd files. Or you can drag and drop the file into an open application of GIMP.

This is might be a dumb question. But do they cut the holes for you?

@DimzNoms 6 ай бұрын

Not a dumb question at all! On FocusAttack, if they have a pre-made template for your controller (which they do for most of the popular ones) then they will cut the button holes for you! What controller are you trying to get the holes cut for?
