Wait, what? Where did I mess up this time? I've been told the aspect ratio was bogus before, but it wasn't. :mefiant:

Oh, I see, you mean your Betilla. Yes, it needs cleaner edges.

Okay: take your image of Betilla. I hope you put her on a separate layer than the rank template, else you will have to remove all the pink colours and do that. Make sure your rank template is the new form, the one with the smooth corners. Put its layer on top of your image, so it covers it. You will notice that your image pokes out at the corners. Then, select your layer with the template by CTRL or SHIFT (can't remember which) clicking the template layer's name. This will create the marching ants around your image, indicating that you've selected around the borders of the template. Switching to the Betilla layer retains this selection, so you now have the marching ants in the shape of the template's border, but your selection is on Betilla's layer. Now, using an eraser, smooth-erase your image around the rank borders carefully, such that the image never pokes out from underneath the template. Keep switching back and forth between a view of the template on top of your image and one of the image on top of the template, so you make sure to never accidentally erase your image too much. When you're done, you should have an image that nicely fits the rank template!

Or you simply select the template, go to the Betilla image with this selection, invert it, and erase your inverted selection, as it will remove everything in it, so basically everything outside of the template for the Betilla's layer. Manually erasing is so annoying...

You also keep the selection before the inversion and crop it, it works as well.

Correct me if I am wrong, as I've never taken a look at special ranks.

You'd like to be in the pink. - and I'm not just talking about the rank template.

Just tell him you understood what he meant, because this is getting TOO interesting in terms of description to be posted on such a forum.

As said Serza, those special ranks look fine.

Me neither, hey, that's the issue of doing science/engineering studies: you ain't no good at art most of the time, although I can make some cool painting if I give myself enough time to do it...

Still, it would help if somebody explained to me what the hell is going on here! :fou:
