Tutorial

1st - Search for a good picture.
I usually use these websites:

Google Images
Getty Images
ViewImages
PicSearch
Simple Image Search

Ex: Cristiano Ronaldo, in ViewImages



Choose one of them.

2nd - Open Photoshop and drag the picture into the program.



Normally, it stays at 66.7%



Pick the "magnifying glass" tool and change it to 100%, clicking on Actual Pixels.



3th - Let's work on the picture. I advice you to let Photoshop do the hard work, by choosing Image - Adjustements - Auto Levels / Auto Contrast / Auto Color



4th - Resize the picture into an acceptable size:

Like this size...


...into this size


5th - Then, create a new layer with 140 pxls by 180 pxl size.



Drag the modified picture into the new layer.



Move the picture until it is in a perfect position, like this:



6th - Create a 1pxl stroke

Double click on "Background" and then "Ok"




Then, click on the little "f" under -> stroke, and then change to pixel=1;position= inside; cor=preto



And then, you have the final picture, perfect for na 140*180 facepack

.

Save it...


Save your picture with the name you want, without accents, in C:\Documents and Settings\Users\My Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2008\graphics\facepacks



7th - To create the config.xml file, use http://www.4shared.com/file/32881771/117c8aa2/FmXML_03.html]FMXML


Now, you can start working here, at the project
