I'm not the best with computers, so just know I may be wrong. I use an older model Mac desktop with Mac OSX 10.6.something (I'm answering from my phone right now so I can't check exactly what model right now). Anyways, I use Google Chrome anonymously and typically only have that application open while working because the computer freaks out if too much is going on at once. I've fine tuned a system where I make any edits to logos on Pixlr Editor (free web version) and then I size them to what I will need and make sure the background is transparent. Why do I size things on Pixlr and not in the jersey creator or cap maker? Because I've found that enlarging or shrinking added images makes the images blurry and oftentimes breaks them up weirdly. I don't know why or how, it just does. I also don't really mess with arcing or wordmark direction too much because I'm not a big fan of that in my jerseys. Those can sometimes mess up my text on the jersey. Oftentimes I just create word marks in Pixlr, save them as images, and then add them to the jersey creator. That way I have a larger variety of fonts and options (I'm not saying that you shouldn't use the built in fonts and options, because those are great and I use them as well). Anyways, enough of my ramblings. A lot of my understanding of the jersey maker and cap maker has been through experimenting with them. I'm one of the few that's gotten the Chrome/Mac combo to work for these sites, so I'm not quite sure what I'm doing that others aren't. I hope my suggestions/tips may help and let me know if you need any more attempts at helping from me.

Just a heads-up, I think I've gotten this issue fixed. The problem was the way the javascript library that handles the canvas elements dealt with high-DPI screens. Caps should export properly, although the tradeoff is that they may appear a bit blurry in the browser window.

I had not spent much time on the OOTP Mods section for the forums recently, but wow am I glad I stopped by to see this and the jersey creator. These are fantastic pieces of work, can't say thank you enough for sharing.
One question/suggestion, is it possible to get the manufacturer's mark option that is available on the jersey creator to also be an option with the hats? Again, thanks for these tools, I look forward to being able to use them. |

It's not quite as flexible as the JerseyMaker - all you can do is flip it from one side of the cap to the other and change the color. You can't select/move/scale/rotate it. But it's there. Anything beyond that, you can always just upload a manufacturer's mark as a logo image and tweak it to your liking. |

I love this utility...if you don't mind a suggestion, you should also put together a web based logo maker with just a few templates such as a circle, home plate and such. Users could then upload images and simply re-size, and there you have it.

Just the briefest of updates - I have added a "scrambled eggs" layer to the cap brim, so now you can make all of the Seattle Pilots caps you want!

Sorry I didn't notice this earlier - all the "start" and "end" fields do is add dates to the name of the file that gets generated, they don't do anything to the image itself.

It works for me in Chrome & Firefox, although IIRC you have a Mac and I don't have one of those handy to test with.

Big(ish) news - there is now a beta version of the CapMaker available for the desktop! That's right, no browser needed! Binaries are available for 64-bit Windows, Linux (I think only 64-bit) and macOS.
https://github.com/eriqjaffe/capmaker/ Note that most of the image processing tools require a working installation of ImageMagick. Installation instructions for ImageMagick vary depending on your operating system - they have documentation available on how to install it for your operating system. Fair warning, installing ImageMagick on macOS is a bit of a pain in the ass. Feel free to take it for a spin. As mentioned above, this is a beta version so some things may not look quite right or may not function as you might expect. Let me know here and I may or may not try fixing it. |

Not at this time, but it is something I'd like to figure out.

Oh, have I got some news!
I've been working on this for a while, and I've gotten int working. With a couple of caveats - you can upload your own fonts. What are the caveats?
