Replacing Muti-Image/Single-Lined Resources
By: banky
Attention
- I'll Be Using Adobe Photoshop CS:2 For this Guide
- Guide Based on Resource 591 and Messenger Version 8.5(Final)
- Difficulty: Mediumish
- Horrible Grammar lol! ;x
1. Open the resource in your graphics program.
2. Find out the dimensions of the resource (Image--> Image Size or Alt+Ctrl+I)
*Dimensions for 591: 361x18*
3. Now open a new image (File - New) Make the dimensions the same as the resource you're trying to replace.
(For this guide we'll make it 361x18)
4. To begin changing the resource make sure your first Layer is transparent, then make a new layer for every image that's in the Single-Lined Resource.
(For 591 we'll need 10 Layers)
*You can try 1 layer for all the images, but it's easier with multiple layers so you can rearrange each item to make sure the pixel settings are correct*
5. We'll Need rulers for this next step(Ctrl+R), we'll also need to zoom into the original resource so we can find where we'll need to put the images in our new resource.
Click for Picture
*Warning I've zoomed at 300% you can choose any zoom but for sake of the tutorial I'll be using 300%**
From the picture you can see that the location for the following:
*With Zoom at 300% each little notch on the ruler is 2"*
Right Side: 12"
Left Side: 0"
Bottom: 14"
Top: 0"
*I'll only be showing the location of the first image simply so you can try to do the rest*
6. Now that we know the location of the first location let's move the icon we'd like to replace the first image with into our blank image.
*Remember Size Matters: Try not to get a image that's to wide.. as it may interfere with the layout of the other images*
7. Now after Dragging the new image to the blank file. Turn on rulers(If not already done) and zoom to 300% again.(Or the zoom you've chosen)
8. Now Simply align the new image to the location you' found for the previous image which is
Right Side: 12"
Left Side: 0"
Bottom: 14"
Top: 0"
Click for picture
As you can see I have aligned the new image to the same location as in the original resource which will allow it to be changed after adding the rest of the images and saving it.
-End-
Sorry, that I only showed you how to do one location hopefully I wrote this good enough you'll understand how to find the locations of the others..
I don't think this is the only way to change these image's but it's the only way I know of.
Post anymore questions, you have i'll try and answer them and if needed update/edit the tut.
