How to Upload Your Own Trainer on Trainer Card Maker

Well, I searched and couldn't find anything so I hope at that place isn't a similar topic already posted. I'm besides not sure if this is the correct forum, so please move it if necessary.

Have you lot ever wanted to brand your ain trainer card, merely you got too bogged down? Don't similar the trainer bill of fare generators because they're too generic? Well, fear not, for I can show you how to hands brand your ain trainer card!

For this tutorial, you'll demand:
- GIMP (or whatsoever photo editing software - but in the tutorial itself, I'll be using GIMP)
- A trainer card template (Google is your friend)
- Sprites or other images to make full your carte (Preferably one with a transparent background)
- Patience and time

Step One: Download GIMP
GIMP is a free photograph editing software. It is available for Windows, Mac OS, and Linux. You tin can download the software at the following link: http://www.gimp.org/downloads/

Step 2: Gather your images
Notice a blank trainer menu that suits your fashion, and be sure to notice images that y'all can put in the carte. For this tutorial, I'll be using stock sprites and this card template:

At present isn't that beautiful... and empty?! Well, we need to fill it up!

Step 3: Insert your first layer
Open up that bad male child in GIMP and let's get to work! Just copy the image, start GIMP, and select File ----- > Create ----- > From Clipboard. At present let'south do information technology!

Beginning, you're going to make a layer. A layer, in simplest terms, allows you to cull what part of the image you'll come across and if information technology appears in front of or behind something else. To make a layer in GIMP, simply navigate to Layer ---- > New Layer.

Spoiler:

You lot'll see a dialog box pop up. Information technology will look something like this:

Spoiler:

Keep all of those options default, but requite the layer a name of your choice. I commonly make mine the name of the Pokémon I'thousand going to put in the layer.

Step Four: Insert Your Pictures

At present it's time to insert your first picture. For visibility, we'll zoom the image up to 800x information technology'due south original size. In GIMP, you'll see a '100%' on the bottom of the screen. Simply alter it to 800% and y'all're good to go.

We need to line up the sprite as we wish. Mostly, I continue the portion of the sprite I want to be shown in the final card in the box. Line upwards the image as you choose within the boundary. One time you're finished, go to the toolbox. In the upper-left hand corner of the toolbox, you lot'll run across the rectangle select tool. Simply select the rectangle tool and return to the image. Once you lot're done, left-click and drag on the image and you'll see a bunch of dashing lines appear. If the dashes disappear, just undo (CTRL+Z) until they reappear. Elevate the line within the boundary of the box and everything else will disappear. (IMPORTANT: E'er drag from the corners. GIMP doesn't work too well with dragging from the sides and if something goes wrong, yous'll demand to undo. Also, you may need to click twice before the box begins to drag.) Finally, click exterior of the lines and they will disappear.

Note: If it does non appear the manner you lot thought information technology would, you lot tin can still re-align information technology. Hover over the sprite and drag it to how yous'd like it positioned.

GIMP placed it like this:

I selected the capture tool:

I aligned information technology like I wanted it:

Footstep Five: Echo steps iii and four for the other sprites
Now that y'all've got i epitome down, simply repeat step 4 for all of your other sprites. Don't forget well-nigh your badges and any other images yous may want!

Step Half-dozen: Well-nigh washed!
At present yous need to add some text to the image and then y'all can add together your trainer menu. To practice this, select the text tool in the Toolbox. It'southward the giant, bold A. And so select the part of the epitome where you want the text to appear. A text box appears. Type the text you want to insert into the box. Simply elevate-align the text and viola! You're done!

Notation: If you want to change the size/font of the text, you can do so in the Toolbox.

Final step: Saving your image
Y'all're done. You've aligned and added your sprites, and now it's time to relieve. Save the picture using File ---- > Save Equally.... and name information technology. Choose the path to store your file. A dialogue box will appear about exporting your files. Go along the options as their default and select 'export'. On the next step, keep all of the default options and select 'Salvage'.

Congratulations! You've fabricated your first custom trainer carte du jour! Now upload information technology and share it with everyone here!

I hope anybody found this to be very useful. It can take a long time at offset, but in one case you get used to information technology yous'll be making them in no time! If you have whatever questions, don't exist agape to inquire!

If there is enough demand for information technology I may fifty-fifty exercise a video tutorial.
