Ready to edit card templates?

I assume 99% of people here when making cards download a blank card image, stick it in Photoshop, and place / manipulate text in that as needed. I'm wondering if anyone has gone as far as to make a template file for any piece of software (Photoshop, Word / Excel Mail Merge, etc) that makes this process easier? Ideally I would just be able to type words, bold some things, maybe change font sizes and I would get a playable, okay result for testing purposes that doesn't look as ugly as some tables thrown together in Microsoft Word.

Yes, for GIMP. You just need to edit the text, bold some things, change the name, cost, types, art, artist, and etc. Dividing lines and can be a hassle but it's not that hard to do.

Basic Actions and Durations are very easy, 3 minutes tops. If you have a lot of icons (like for Treasures), or a dividing line (or 2), it can take some time.

Does Photoshop have any kind of free trial? I could get it for a bit and try to make one.

I just checked, it does. Maybe over the weekend?

There's these two that I know of: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/mq6tf49a6yx878k/AAAagEjtUjSzl6DPy-O2akJza
They were made by Showdown35.
My own gimp template is based on them, there are some others around on BGG but they either are of much lower quality or lack some newer types.
Bonus content: an event template for gimp.
