Here is an alternate image of Harry Davis with the Detroit Tigers, to replace the grotesquely distorted submission posted above. In addition I attach an image of the same player with the 37 Browns.

Please add Pilots Uni and Cap to Gene Ammann He was drafted by Pilots/Brewers in 1970. Thanks for your time and great work that you do.
that uni. I am learning little at a time on card making. Just haven't figured out how to switch or add the uni's. I thank and appreciate very much. Thank you.

Here are 2 separate efforts at providing a Pilots image for former Florida State Seminoles phenom Gene Amman.For what it's worth, I don't mind doing custom jobs for those "What if?" scenarios.It's challenging to be sure as finding suitable images to combine can be frustrating. Hopefully, you can use one of these for your custom cards. Hopefully all the hullabaloo hasn't discouraged your creativity and interest.

Thanks so much. Awesome job. I'm not one hold grudges. Just blowing off steam. Just frustrated. It was not towards you in anyway. It has not discourage my attempt at creativity or discourage my interest. I Apologize to all for my out burst. I usually don't let my emotions get out of hand. So again I apologize to all.

Please change Cap to a Seattle Pilots cap. Attepted to add uni. the shading on the neck doesn't match. don't know how to fix that. attempting to do more of my own custom work. still learning. Thanks for time and great work. How do you fix the coloring around the neck area? No Rush.

You don't. You use the full neck that's attached to the head. In doing so, you may find that you need to "tidy up" the interface of the neck and uniform, but it's easier to clone a uniform than flesh tone and that's why you use the full neck.

I don't know what program you're using but I still recommend GIMP. There are two tools in GIMP (which should also be in other editing software, but may not be) that you will use to death. Eraser and Clone.

Image 1: Using the eraser, I've isolated the head and neck of Mr. Coggins.

Image 2: I selected an image of Tommy Harper and, using the "open as layers" edit, laid the Coggins head over Harper.

Image 3: I also had to shrink the Coggins head (already shrunk in image 2) as it was larger than the head on Harper's body. But you have to be sure to preserve the "aspect ratio" before shrinking. In GIMP, as shown in image 3, you do this by clicking on the chain links next to the width and height numbers. The chain links should be touching. In this image, the aspect ratio is NOT being preserved.

Image 4: As you can see in image 2, the neck area pretty much took care of itself. However, bits of Tommy are still peaking out on the right. Again, the most difficult thing to "fix" is anything having to do with skin tone. So problems with the neck area of the uni or bits of Tommy to the right...that's child's play using the clone (or stamp) tool. Use a fuzzy, rather than a solid, clone. Pick up a bit of the nearby color and clone/stamp it in to cover up the bits of Tommy. I've done the bottom part of the face, here, with the upper part still to be done. (NOTE: "Flatten image" before embarking on the clone clean-up.)

Image 5: Like those TV cooking shows, we have a Coggins over Harper pre-prepared. With the usual caveat of "not my best work" (did this one some 5 years ago or more), voila.

This is not intended as a fulfillment of your request, but you can use my image if you want to.
