coloring black and white RWS from altreligion.about.com

DoctorArcanus

Being a tarot newbie, I realized that I should have some knowledge of the RWS deck, since it seems to be somehow a standard, at least in the States (and on ATF).
I have found on the forum a link to a place where it is possible to download a black and white RWS
http://altreligion.about.com/library/weekly/aa082003a.htm
and I have colored the cards on my computer to give them a look i like.
I removed the card names, because I want to add them in my own writing when I print the cards.

This is the result:

Unfortunately, some of the cards on altreligion (the sun, the star, the moon, the tower) have very low resolution, and in general image quality is not uniform. I didn't check if the other deck on this site (Vacchetta's master deck) is in better shape....

Hey, cool link... Yeah, I did look at all the cards and was a little disapointed in it. It seemed that cards like the Magician had thier boarder cut off, and then they changed the text on some of the cards... And then they didnt even keep all the text they changed uniform in typeface. While I do have a Black&White copy of the RWS deck now to play with, it seems im gunna have to edit it some..

Yes Steve, the idea is good but the quality of the images is far from perfect.
Anyway, it's fun to have a chance of playing with the colors of this classic deck!
I've corrected the link that shows 3 of the cards I produced.....I hope it works now :)
