Can someone explain how to make CoA look the same as those that are already in game. I got Photoshop, but I don't know what to do and how to "cultivate" it to look good.

I would like to make alternative CoA for England and Sweden as I consider the current ones wrong.

Also I think step-to-step explanation would help others as well.
Thx. ;)
 
Hmm step by step tutorial ... if your looking for tutorials on graphic art for photoshop there is few 1000 of them on the web already that cover all kinds of effects. Probably a little beyond the scope of this forum ..but if your trying to do something in particular give a little more detailed description of what your trying to do and Im sure somebody here could help out. (No idea what it means specificly to "cultivate" a piece of work ;) )

Best way to learn is always just to try different things then check them out in context (in game) and see how it looks. Also open existing CoAs in photoshop use "select all" - > "copy" -> create a new PS doc -> paste. Then edit the copy to your choice then do the same in reverse and paste your work back into the orginal then just select "save". Open the game and check it out. Always make back-ups of the originals first of course ;)

Well what I am trying to do is to make a CoA of England with three lions and the swedish with the lion. I have the opinion this can be done easily with some small conversion.

For example I want to make these CoA's:

http://www.heraldique-europeenne.org/Regions/Scandinavie/Blasons/Suede_Ancien.gif

To look like these in this thread ===> http://www.europa-universalis.com/forum/showthread.php?t=150855

So I can use them in game.
Btw. will anyone be willing to make them? That is if you are not up to explaining to me how to make them.
