Creating a Baseball Card using Photoshop Elements / Baseball card

It is becoming more popular to create your own "baseball card" style photographs of your children or team members.

These cards can be a great deal of fun for handing out to friends and family.

These cards can also be a great deal of fun to produce.

You can make them simple or elaborate, with or without stats, and any size from wallet to poster.

This lesson is the follow-up to our lesson entitled "Simple Tricks for Shooting Sports Portraits" in which we showed how to stage action shots on the baseball diamond. This lesson will show how to use Adobe Photoshop Elements to produce a classic baseball card of your future All-Star.
