Changing flags (request)

[RJ100]

At this point, I have provided instructions as to how to do this as well as a clean version of the crest so that it is very easy to apply the new flag. I feel that you should do it yourself. I, for one, am done messing with this. If some one else wants to do it for you, good on them.

I tried it for a long time now, but as I said before, I'm terrible when it comes to this. The result you gave me is wonderful, but I find it a little bit disappointing that you used again the first flag I posted, even after I asked explicitly to use the new flag.

But thanks for your help and your time. I really appreciate it!

Is this over now then or what?

No, I have just one last request. I tried it myself, but it turned out weird.

I'm just asking if someone can swap the faces for me.

I tried it for a long time now, but as I said before, I'm terrible when it comes to this.

I have no doubt that you tried doing this yourself. However, I do not believe that you have tried using the method that I outlined above. What I described is not that difficult; especially if you use the version I posted above that already has the old flag colors erased. You should at least give it a go.

If you can't be bothered to do the whole process of warping your own flags, then this is the easiest thing for you to do:

1. open the flag that I completed as a background layer

2. brush over the sunny face that you don't like with white color (don't worry about the black lines over the face; just paint over them as well)

3. copy the new sunny face onto a new layer (layer 1) above the background and get it into roughly the right position

4. rotate the new sunny face with "Edit > Free Transform"

5. distort the new sunny face with "Edit > Transform > Distort"

6. finally, restore the black lines by loading the cleaned up version that I posted above as a new layer above everything else. if you use the both of the files that I provided, they will automatically line up with each other since they are both the same size.

Feel free to post your results. At least, let me know how it goes. We are all learning new techniques around here.

I think I can do this. I'm this far now:

Of course you can do it! You're on the right track.

It worked! Thank you very much, rufinatti, for all your help! I thought it was impossible for me to do, but thanks to the versions you already made and your clear explanation I could. I really enjoyed it!

Final result:



All the credits to rufinatti ;-) Thanks, mate!

Congrats! That turned out well.

I'm happy to have helped and am glad that you were able to learn something new as well.
