Issues with Planeswalkers #30

Closed ThePawPaw closed 3 years ago

ThePawPaw commented 3 years ago

Tried doing two different cards for planeswalkers, extracted from artofmtg and scryfall with no luck Gives me the error and what photoshop outputs: Error Photos I am using can go straight into PS no problem, hoping to find a solution

this is intentional - fully automating planeswalkers isn't really possible because of needing to control the font sizes of multiple text layers as well as the positions of the ragged textbox dividers. levelers and sagas have the same problem too. as such, the system drops in a scryfall scan of the real card and terminates to allow you to position the text and textbox divider layers how you like before saving the image - all the correct frame layers have been enabled and all text layers populated from scryfall for you. internally, the planeswalker, leveler, and saga templates use the exit_early setting to true to accomplish this, hence why the error message isn't super descriptive of what's going on.

Awesome, thanks for that :)
