Custom box

[Mr Greeble]

Okay, I'm not sure if this is in the right forum, but here goes.

How do you create those custom boxes that people us to make their creations look "real"?

I know it has something to do with using a picture of another box, but that's it.

Thank you!

Are you meaning a retail Lego box to make it look more like their MOC is an actual retail product? If so, then yes, it's generally just a photo of a real Lego product box, with their own model & info placed on it.

Find a photo of a box that'll work for your MOC (right dimensions, angle, etc.), take photos of your MOC that could pass for actual product photos, then use a tool like Photoshop, Gimpshop, Pixelmator, etc., to remove the photography from the real box and place yours onto it, as well as replacing the text for the name, set #, part count, etc..

I've also seen folks print off sheets with the front and side views of their pretend product box art and then carefully glue them to a real box and then have that subtly in the background of their MOC photos which his kinda cute. :)

Thank you, that is basically what I thought, but I wanted to clear it up.
