Photoshop Lessons and Sig MAKING Help

[Cybele]

Can someone please help with my problem? Its 2 posts up.

It's mostly just a matter of experimentation. Mine's more about creative cropping. You just resize an image down to however big you want and pick sections to copy and move over to different places. Then there's a light texture thrown in there and a pin light layer to balance all of the colors out. As for the second two, rotation is the key. Crop the images how you want and put them on a large enough canvas that they'll fit completely, then rotate them around by going to edit, transform, rotate. Looks like a lot of bevel and emboss was used as well with some brushes. Also, the second looks like they either erased parts and saved it as a transparent .gif or they used a template of some kind. I don't ever use templates, so I can't really tell you how. I just never much liked them.

Ive just had a quick go and this was the end result. I made a copyright brush, but I made it too small here.

What I can't figure out is how to take a screenshot of something that I want for my signature in a video. Can someone tell me?

[Roto13]

I use VirtualDub. And you're using the sig I made for you for no reason at all!

Owen’s high quality sharpened
Renders tutorial

Hi everyone, have you ever used the regular sharpening tool and got a spiky low quality looking render? Now I just found this way to sharpen them without reducing their quality, take a look at the above sig., and hope you find this useful.
Assuming that you already have a prepared sig and only needs sharpening its render, ‘cause the background is stealing the renders glory. So just do these few steps:

1.Select your render layer.
2.Press CTRL+A to select the whole frame
3.Go to Edit >copy merged
4.press CTRL + V (to paste the layer)
5.And then to Layer> arrange> bring to front (these might not be necessary if the copy of the layer has automatically been brought to the front when you pasted it)
6.Now go to Filter > other > high pass, and select the amount you like. (PS:try to choose between 4-10)
7.Go layer> layer style> blending options and set the mode to (overlay).
8.Grip the eraser tool and set its opacity to 100% if it wasn’t already.
9. Rube only the background, and leave the render as it is.

PS: if the sharpening is less than what you want, simply in step 6 just increase the amount of the high pass.

Now, wasn’t that easy? This way you would be able to sharpen your render without reducing the quality. For any questions just Pm me or post your question here I will answer you in as much as I can.

Hope you enjoyed this tutorial.

Owen, I merged your thread with an existing thread for Photoshop lessons and tutorials.

ok, no problem. but does that mean that I can't make my OWN lessons thread? just wondering is all.

[Leeza]

One thread for Photoshop is enough.

Does anyone know how to make a signature so that when I make a sig, and a picture is sticking out, that the background of this site shows up as the background instead of a color I choose?

[Madonna]

You need to make the background transparent and save the image as a .gif or .png.

[This is basically it.]

Thanks... I wish you could save it as JPG.
