How do I export a single playing card?
I have finished designing my custom deck of card for Kickstarter. How do I export a single playing card out of the entire template? I need to have it 300 dpi and it needs to be the size of a standard poker card. Thank you!

From Wiki
3.5 inches
The most common sizes for playing cards are poker size (2.5 × 3.5 inches (64 × 89 mm), or B8 size according to ISO 216) and bridge size (2.25 × 3.5 inches (57 × 89 mm)), the latter being narrower, and thus more suitable for games such as bridge in which a large number of cards must be held concealed in a player's hand.
Standard 52-card deck - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_52-card_deck
Go to the layer you want go to File Export PNG
2.5 x 300 = 750 (Or 2.25 x 300 = 675)
3.5 x 300 = 1050
check under image size those are the pixel dimensions you need.
Set your export as and export your image best of luck on your Kickstarter project.

Re: How do I export a single playing card?
I get what you are saying but I don't know where to start. I imported the entire playing card template and then colored in sections and then added custom Jokers. I didn't select a layer to do that, I just edited the whole template. Can my artwork be saved? Is there a way to select one card at a time?

Re: How do I export a single playing card?
Im not clear on what this template is, you speak of.
If i had to design a deck of cards, i would set up a document (canvas-size) so that it is the required cardsize and then do all the artwork inside that canvas boundary.
What does your template look like ?
Do you understand how exporting works ?
You can export the canvas area, but also a selection.
So what you should be able to do is: rubberband-select a single card, and export that selection.

I got the template from here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/vector-cards/
I edited the entire deck at once but I can't export a single card. Not used to this program. I would hate to start all over again.
