OUTSTANDING video. 🫡Doing it all myself at my local print shop for my Hori Alpha. Followed you every step of the way and got it all mapped out, thank you brother.
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.
Just want you to know that i followed this and i sent the order out today .. when done i will tag you so you can see and thank you so so so much for this video
I am so greatful for this gunna go home and start working on my box thank you so much dude and when done I will tag this video and show you the final product
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.
@@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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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).
Here's two videos. I hope that they help: 1. ua-cam.com/video/WldeQR5drQM/v-deo.htmlsi=WwQgCp7dJia3M1WM 2. ua-cam.com/users/shortsSvN_NwbanIA?si=v0HmVf3R7N2i_qvK
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 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.
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.
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.
@@DimzNoms I reply with the link of the template but i getss deleted after i possted dont know if youtube let people posst links on reply , but rearch razer kitsune template and you find it ez
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?
@@terrygat6059 Oh that's great! Will cut the holes for you for this stick! Here's the direct link: focusattack .com/artwork-print-and-cut-for-hori-fightstick-alpha-read-description/ Lower on the page you can download their template so that you can put your artwork on there, then upload up it for printing. I also do GFX commissions for fighsticks if you would like me to help you with getting your fightstick piece done (Link in description).

Yeah I ordered buttons took about two weeks but this is def what I think I needed to get the custom work
im gonna be doing this for a snack box micro, what kind of material do they normally print on? i might be able to print my own at my university

This was perfect, thank you so much :)
Do they have any suitable for the haute 42 leverless cobtroller?

@@megatron111184 i meant is there any print art for the haute 42 stick or the venom stick

It's not letting me drag the layers at all, any suggestions?

should I leave the LAYOUT layer on like you do in the video at the end?
You can, but 100% yes IF you are getting a custom layout print that you will have to cut yourself.
I cant find the fuzzy tools on my Photoshop
bro how do you make the art in the buttons. like i want to put flames in the outside of for the buttons in the art

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

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

ur a life saver man thx a lot
¡Muchas Gracias!
why does my pc not open up the template?
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.
Damn gonna have to borrow a laptop or something 😂
@DimzNoms I will love to see how you do this with the Kitsune Template, am having trouble:(
The Kitsune has a template?? I've seen people making art for it like on a sticker, but I didn't know it had a template! 👀

Do I need a pc
GIMP is a photo editing software on PC. So i believe that you do require a computer to use it.
Does it work on laptop?@@DimzNoms
@@mohammednasif6867 Yup yup!
