here's a simple tut to get a sig with rounded edges, hope it is a good one:

C&C are welcome, and I'd like to know if it needs any more detailing.
Thanks alot.
the pictures are bad, so sorry, but I took these with my phone camera. :D

Cool I've always wanted to make a sig like that :D I shall try it sometime! The tutorial seems pretty straight forward, it looks like theres enough detail, very good Owen! I shall show you my results when I get round to making one like this :p

Another way is on your first layer take the rounded rectangle tool and make the box, and then on each layer after it create a clipping mask.

Theres a little thing called Print screen ;D

Ill try it later. Thanks!

I didn't try this before, but the way I posted is fairly easy once you get used to it. I have doing it for a while now, my hand automatically do the job now without even thinking. :p

Oops, i forgot about printscreen, silly me. thanks Zeldy.

Cool! :)

[Chloe.]

Thank you Owen :p

Thats cool. Good job. I just do it in paint though. Easier for myself.

Well..um. Nice tut. I had already done one, but okay. ><

[Owen Macwere]

Soory Liz, but that's a different way around. :( I hope I didn't make you mad.

Thanks Genji and everyone else, glad this helpped.

RIMM that's a cool result, Glad it helpped. :D

What?

Duh, she made a tut in the photoshop help thread, it was for rounded edges too, but I forgot, that's why I apologised.
Now, back on topic. :tongue:

The font should be more simple and easy to read, the images that help illustrate the progress of the tutorial should be redone to help be more clear, and less jargon (i.e., tutorial rather than "tut").

The steps seem clear enough, once you decipher the text. Cheers.

[Sylvie]

Some screenshots are really blurry too.

Right. Well, I can't really understand what you're saying sometimes.

Thanks for notifying me, I'll try to work better on my next tutorial.

Probably because I am stupid.

Pfft, whatever dude. Im sure you knew.

I hope you know about Print Screen though. It works better that way. No blurry pictures. And use a clearer font next time.

Oh, i do know about it, I just forgot. :p

I will do next time, thanks Liz.

Yeah, due to my extensive use of sprites in Photoshop, Paint is an invaluable tool.

Also, in Paint, you don't have the transparent blending on the edges, so the edge ought to come out smaller. It really does look nicer.

[Owen Macwere]

Pfft, whatever dude. Im sure you knew.

Oh, I didn't say I didn't know, i said I forgot, and the way I did the rounded edges are far different from yours. I am just trying to help, you know?.
I guess, I stole again, didn't I?.

anyway, here's a corrected version, I hope this is clearer, but it should be saved and zoomed in to be more readable:

Oh, whatever. Dont worry about it. Im an angry little girl. Forget about me.

[Owen Macwere]

Oh, whatever. Dont worry about it. Im an angry little girl. Forget about me.

This means I was right, and you were angry.
Alright, I don't think I would make anymore tuts, in case they annoy anyone, and help me earn the thief reputation.
I never knew things would turn out like this, it seems everything I do is either stolen or unworthy, I am sorry.
and I am sorry for getting out of topic, I hope this wont happen again.

No. No, Owen. You can do whatever you want. You can make tuts too. Dont stop cause of me. I was just a little mad. Im over that now. Dont worry about it.
