Hey. I don't know if I can get my answers here, but I'm looking to create custom watermarks for some of the sets I'm developing. I've run into a bit of a problem and I'm not sure how to fix it. (Yes, I've seen the article on the old forums on how to add one, but this is artistic based.) I've noticed many of the watermark images are white (or a very light color) with a shadowed black border. In contrast, the images I want to use are typically a solid color (such as the one following:) I can scale the image and make it white instead of black, but I'm not really sure how to create that shadowed border that I'm looking for in a standard watermark. Can anyone who has experience doing this sort of thing (assuming that there IS someone on this site) give me some tips about this?
Thanks.

Gimp has a built-in tool for this, though it's been a while since I used it. Fortunately, there's WikiHow.

The article you sent me helped me figure it out. I've never used Gimp before but I've used other art programs such as Krita, and it wasn't hard to figure out how to format the image as I needed. Thanks for your help!

New issue though, although it's nothing major:
I've managed to successfully create the watermarks I need, import them into MSE and put them on the card with no issues, but for some reason the icons for them when choosing the watermark in the menu are not the same as the watermark itself. this isn't a major issue but it is bugging me a bit and I'm not sure why. I had the section for it in the watermark-names file in between the Faction Symbol choices and the Clan symbol choices, and observed the icons were taking the appearance of the Clan symbols, and that all the icons that it had shifted in relation to the number of icons in the new section (e.g. three new items in the custom section, so everything below it on the list shifted three icons. The Abzan Houses icon became the icon for the Mardu Horde, although it was still the Abzan houses on a card). I moved it to the end of the list and found it took the icon for the set symbol instead. I'm not sure what's causing this, or how to fix it (assuming you can), but if there's a simple solution that would be appreciated.
Thanks for your help so far, though.
