This is all the edits I ended up doing on top of the vanilla card, with various methods of applying them, but you get the idea. Now, the card is obviously not perfect, it ended up being too crowded with feathers, and the second sword isn't too visible due to that, but whatever.

	All in all, the montage can be a profitable way to save time, especially when you absolutely can't get good screenshots, but you can't use them for everything. As already joked before, you can end up with very samey cards and that's horrible. '''You should, for example, take care not basing your card on a unit's that is already available to your faction.''' In this case, it wasn't a problem because my factions will never access Knights of the Black Rose outside of allied outposts, but I wouldn't pull this trick again on the same base. And don't think you can get away with just mirroring the card again.

	'''Protagonism''': the bloke must be instantly distinguishable from the background. Selecting them with lasso/magic wand and making them a separate layer is always a good idea. Afterwards you’ll probably further lighten or darken the background stuff. Blurring also works but I usually don’t like it, as it can look too fake.

Blurring also works but I usually don’t like it, as it can look too fake. Giving it a ''minimalist'' oil paint touch can also help.

	'''Background''': when you have extra time and experience in your hands, you may want to add smoke, happy clouds, grim clouds, that sort of thing, behind the protagonist’s layer. Screenshots can often produce rather flat backgrounds and that can be off-putting. ~~For example,~~ grab a nice sky from ~~another screenshot~~ or even a random photo, resize and apply it with a layer mask that excludes the protagonist and probably the ground they’re standing on. Then tweak at will for opacity, blending and even tone. CA backgrounds are often some unnatural colour.		* '''Background''': when you have extra time and experience in your hands, you may want to add smoke, happy clouds, grim clouds, that sort of thing, behind the protagonist’s layer. Screenshots can often produce rather flat backgrounds and that can be off-putting. You can grab a nice panorama or sky from an in-game battle screenie or even a random photo, resize and apply it with a layer mask that excludes the protagonist and probably the ground they’re standing on. Then tweak at will for opacity, blending and even tone. CA backgrounds are often some unnatural colour, so don't worry too much about that. The important thing is that the unit is not standing on a uniform background, or with too much ground (no more than half), or that it's a mostly green unit on a green background.

	'''Contours''': ~~this~~ is the secret recipe and why we lowered contrast. We said CA cards are artworks, and they have visible dark contours to ~~highlight~~ parts. ~~So we start drawing them (1-~~2 pixel width) with ~~medium hardness brush~~ or ~~pencil in black~~ and ~~white in~~ a ~~new~~ layer. ~~Usually it looks good when it’s set as Soft Light~~, ~~probably between~~ 60 ~~and 100~~% opacity~~, tweak~~ at ~~will~~. Contours can make a huge difference between a flat icon and one that can blend in with vanilla ones. ~~Examples~~ (Swashbucklers from TEB and Teutogen Guard) without and with contour:		* '''Contours''': aka shading, but it kind of depends on how heavy-handed we're going. This is the secret recipe and why we lowered contrast. We said CA cards are artworks, and they often have visible dark contours and shading to underline parts. Get a '''brush, normally with these settings: Soft Light mode, 2 pixel width, 20 to 50% hardness'''. Start with the black on the edges of the unit and on the stuff you want to be visible, like edges of armour, belts, substantial ripples on cloth or other details that got undermined by resizing to such a small scale. Normally, 100% opacity is way too heavy-handed, try between 50 and 80%. If even that is too heavy, also consider using 1 px width instead (especially if the subject is smaller or at a dangerously low contrast). On the same layer (or a different one if you're picky) and at the same time, you can do discreet highlights by switching to white.
			If there are parts that are DESPERATE for heavy contouring, make another 30 to 60% opacity layer at Multiply and use a 1px brush for those. Use with care.
			Contours can make a huge difference between a flat icon and one that can blend in with vanilla ones. However, it's not going to save a subject that is a flat grey surface that ends up looking like a boulder with mascara.

			Couple of examples (Swashbucklers from TEB and Teutogen Guard) without and with contour:

	The cards were already heavily-engineered, but you can still notice an improvement. ~~For example~~, here’s what the Swashie’s contour layer looks like on a background and at 100% opacity:		Note from future Cataph: please note that this are extremely old cards for me. Like I'll mention again, I've adapted methods and hopefully improved across the years. I'd never accept those Teutogen Guards now.

Ditto with the previous paragraph, but these are explicitly for your characters. You’ll find these in UI\portraits\portholes\whateverculture and '''in WH2 they are 193×193 PNG''' circular icons, yes, do notice that these are larger than the unit minspecs.

	In Warhammer3, these 2d portholes are 300x164 ([https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/731080362758766652/950514953067053066/wh3_porthole_template.psd get this template instead]), made to show up in the agent recruitment pool as well. Sadly, this means that we cannot get away with keeping the screenshot's background anymore, so you have to remove it or mask it away. The good thing is that it's not a third porthole, the bad thing is that we ~~likely~~ have to redo all the WH2 ones.

	Name the character porthole exactly the same you’ve called the character’s unit card, or the bin settings will not find one of the two. As a general recommendation, just call both the same way you’ve called the character art set, e.g. dude_01, dude_02, LL_dudette, which, unless you hate yourself, will also be how you called the character art set.
