Reborn Outcast Posted March 7, 2003 Share Posted March 7, 2003 Please someone who is really good with Photoshop 7.0 (Like Darky ). Could anyone help me out? I know the basics but everytime I try to make a good sig like the one Darky or Acrylic has it comes out like crap. (Darky made mine, I want to learn how to make em like that) Thanks in advance.

Boba Rhett Posted March 7, 2003 Share Posted March 7, 2003 It'd probably work out better if you'd ask specific questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reborn Outcast Posted March 7, 2003 Author Share Posted March 7, 2003 Sorry about that but I pretty much stink in ALL areas. I can clone stamp and copy and paste but thats about it. I can't do any of that other stuff like I see in other cool sigs. (Hope that KINDa narrows it down for you guys ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pnut_Man Posted March 7, 2003 Share Posted March 7, 2003 Learn what layers are and get very familiar with the layer settings, experiment with changing the color of an image while still retaining its details.. Layers= key to excellent photoshop work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boba Rhett Posted March 7, 2003 Share Posted March 7, 2003 Yes and also mess around with the layer blending options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reborn Outcast Posted March 7, 2003 Author Share Posted March 7, 2003 K thanks guys I never really thought of messing with the layers. Is that how some images have a see through image combined with their background? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reborn Outcast Posted March 7, 2003 Author Share Posted March 7, 2003 Hey Boba and Pnut... I went back and redid my sig and this time used a TON of layers. How does it look? After I was done I flattened all the layer so I guess its final now. I think it looks pretty good if I do say so myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pad Posted March 7, 2003 Share Posted March 7, 2003 nice, also work around with the opacity of each layer. with it you can select how good a certain layer is visible (something like fade). if you want to change your original image color, make a new layer color it with the color you want and take as blending option "color" (you can also perform this for a certain area). if you have an image and want to adjust its size, use "free transform". it can also give your design a perspective view, if selected. and pad´s tutorial for today: how to make a grid in the back of your image like in my example? 1. create new layer 2. render > clouds 3. distort > pixelate (choose whatever size tiles you want) 4. stylize > find edges (5. stylize > glowing edges) not needed but can give a nice view 6. select as blending option "overlay" and your done. you can also work a bit with radial blur before you go to the pixelate part Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reborn Outcast Posted March 7, 2003 Author Share Posted March 7, 2003 Hey thanks LexX and Pad... but where do you guys host your sigs? Apparently my website is not very reliable because I don't see my sig now, just an "X". Could one of you host it for me? If you can... PM me with your e-mail address please. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RpTheHotrod Posted March 8, 2003 Share Posted March 8, 2003 Check this link out http://true-designs.net/trendycrystals.htm edit- after visiting that site, I decided to see what else filter has... the following are 3 I made from scratch. I did one plain color, some light thing, put in a wripple effect, then added tiles along with a lense flare. That's the first. The second and third are the same but further changed. Awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reborn Outcast Posted March 8, 2003 Author Share Posted March 8, 2003 Nice Rp. I tried that Lycos site but its just waaaayy to confusing for me. And my sig is back up so I guess my site is working now. And if I wnat to make an anamation sig do I have to use the layers to do that? (Not saying I do, just wondering) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
