Continue to blame me for your actions if you will. I will not stop reporting illegal auctions. -

You broke the law, willingly, and repeatedly. Social disorder aside, you knew full well what you were doing.
Did you own the art used on the lands? No you did not. It is a completely different story if the cards had been painted instead of printed.
I feel for you in not being able to hold a job, That does not excuse unlawful behavior. -

The copyright issue is that they do not have permission to reprint the card using the WOTC owned art. Regardless if the card is original, if you reprint with copy-written material, you've broken copyright law.
As far as those lands go, they are not altered lands. They are blanked foils that are then printed to. That's the issue there. The user claiming they are legal and tourney legal does not make either statement true. - To post a comment, please login or register a new account.
Thanks for taking credit on this frame. Looks like kampfer snagged Narbs too. /rant
EDIT: I'd also appreciate if folks did not distribute a Masterpeice's template using my textures. They are not yours to share.

It is precisely this attitude that jeopardizes this entire community, and I for one do not tolerate it.
Please report each listing to eBay and the user to WOTC via http://wizards.custhelp.com/app/ask
People selling proxies endanger everything about this thread, and you should take it as a personal attack regardless if your work isn't being used.
Looks like the "barcode" is the key to unlock the data via a tool like Steno PNG.
Which I most certainly am not.
Where does it mention anything about sources? These refer explicitly and solely to techniques.
The verbiage used is what caused this? The fact that "digital render" and "proxy" are synonymous means nothing? Had they said "I'm looking for the digital renders gallery of X" you'd have not swung the ban hammer?
If this is the direction this is going from here on, then I shan't be participating and I suggest you close and lock this thread.
I'll give it an attempt at translating for you;
I did use a bit of the smudge tool but that was not the primary effect.
Should be self explanatory
First step was to completely setup all the text, mana costs the way I wanted them to be displayed in the end. Then I hid the artwork layer so that the only thing visible was the frame and text elements. Saved as transparent PNG.
Too much work here. You don't need to save anything.
Try this: Fully complete the card in your template of choice.
When done, turn off the art layer. Then you need to make a copy of what you have visible, In Photoshop, do the following, Ctrl+A (Select All) -> Ctrl+Shift+C (Copy everything visible).
(I) unhid the artwork layer and then imported the PNG I just saved back into the file on the top layer.
No need. Just create a new layer at the top of your layers and paste the image from the previous step. Just make sure you re-enable the art layer.
Applied a radial blur filter to the imported layer, (it did take quite a few tries to get the zoom lines to match the exact direction in the artwork).
Filter->Blur->Radial Blur on the layer you just created in the last step.
Now for the cool part. Put a layer mask on the zoom effect layer hiding the whole thing. Created a circular selection following Tetsuo's "force wave" and then modified the selection (border:55px, feather:10px), then unmasked the areas in that selection to let the radial zoomed layer show through. That's the meat and potatoes of the effect.
Assuming you know what layer masks do and how to use them, he did this the easy way by using a selection inside the layer mask. If you're unfamiliar/uncomfortable with that, you can always paint out the non-needed areas manually in the layer mask.
Lost it at "out of nowhere".
Ah history.
