Thanks for that m8, this is my first go, not great but i'm getting there.

thats how everyone starts so dont be afraid of your first tries.

Just a question, i know how to make watermarks but how do you get them going all the way down the tut?

i just copy and pasted the same thing over and over on a huge text box and tilted it and just copy and pasted the layer if it was necessary

Oh ok, so theres no fancy way like making a repeating translucent pattern then (well without alot of struggle).

I made my sig in a simular way.
you can see in there that I didn't have photoshop at the time, I just downloaded photoshop portable (since it's smaller).
I might make a new one soon

well we all start from somewhere and for being a first one its ok. just make sure whn you get photoshop not to get frustrated, it is a somewhat difficult program to get used to.

I have it at last (CS 8.0 portable)!!
Not to hard...
I personaly like my sig, lol.
but it probably sucks.
where do I get pics like in the tutorial??

to get pics, google em or look for them on sites were u know they will have what you are looking for(ie. game pics on game related sites)

Yeah, google is your friend for finding pictures to go in sigs.

I just wanted to take the time to thank you. I am still new to things like this and I never had a clue how to do anything like this untill I read this tutorial. Using it I made my first sig and I am right now working on my second. I was wondering f mabey you could tell me how to put things like scrolling words and things like that into my new sig. I have seen a few like this and would really like to learn how. Again thank you!

appreciated. for animations i did this one

http://213.155.27.24/forums/index.php?showtopic=9806

most simple animations work the same way. simple animations like scrolling text can be done in a similar fashion as the animation tutorial that link takes you to. any doubts dont hesitate to ask on the thread so that others that might have the same doubts could benefit from the answer.

I'm sorry if this is a really stupid question but what program are you using?
If i've missed something or am just being to dim I apologise, just point me in the right direction!
Thanks!!!

its a tutorial for Photoshop (CS/CS2) although preety sure it can work on earlier versions, havent taken the time to check thou.

Top man! Thanks for the prod but i've just noticed almost everything in the graphics tutorials is about Photoshop and if I read the page and post's properly in the first place I might have noticed!
Apologies!

thanks man...

Thank you so much...here's what I did while following your tutorial...nothing special

I was about to download photoshop CS2.
So I will be having a whirl on it tomorrow =]

I am extremely sorry !!!
i got all the things proper except for the insertion of the hydralisk
how do you do that

you can just copy paste images into it.

Thank You

thanks man

this current sig is my first attempt at a sig! inspired by ur tutorial! i still need tonnes of practice though.

Thank you oh so very much for this tutorial, it really got me started on this, anyways, here's my second attempt at making a sig following this guide:

You were not kidding when you said basic....

I don't know why, but my computer freezes when I try to render the clouds. Strange.

Same happens for me, using Photoshop CS3...

yep. basic basic :) everyones gotta start somewhere



well thats just weird. its either ur computer cant cope with it or ur photoshop is screwed...

My first sig...

this is exacly where I got off track




where is the hydralisk or what is it. couldn't seem to figure it out. I'm using cs2

the hydralisk is just the name of the thing in the image. you just insert an image in whatever you are making. by copying it from wherever you want and pasting it in PS

Man it looks cool and easy!
i must try it today.

Thank you so much for taking the time to show us how to do this How cool is it to find a forum where knowledge is so freely shared. Once I get Photoshop I am SO going to give this a try!

***Meh...not enchanted with my results, but it will do for now, LOL!!!

Well, here is my first run at it. think i need to do something more with the edges give them a smoother look.

Who knows. Not TOO bad for a noob!



EDIT : Here is a second little sig i put together for my home team!!!!

^^^Oooooh...I like :D

If you like that one. have a look at the rivised version i put together lastnight.

Yep...I'm officially a fan. Verra nice

thats some impressive progress stony. nice work

Ty, your tuts are excellent.

BTW i seen the sig you made Here i like the shooting star effect, and the way te darkside logo lights up as it's crossed over. will you be doing a tut on these effects also?

hmm. i could. ill try and remember to do it but with all the stuff i gotta do it might take a lil bit. but ill make one

great mate

What version of photoshop are you using??

Photoshop CS2

Many thanks......Darksoulwarrior..........

This is a very nice tutorial. I created one, but I made a few changes. For instance, instead of using the clouds, I used the fiber effect. I also gave the background layer an inner glow of black. Nice touch I think. This is what I came up with...


Thanks for posting this.

that is nice. it is always good to try your own touches. thats what this is all about. diversity. tutorials are design so you learn the basics with which you can then make your own things. nice job

Thanks for the tut. Some useful tips for the beginner like me....lol

Here is one I made earlier;

Okay, so I have a really stupid question but, I have not been able to select an image within an image (cut-out) to be able to place in a different file. Please tell me what I am doing wrong or do I really have to erase the background or parts I don't want in a photo (which takes forever and just saying that makes me feel rather ancient . . . ). I know this is probably something really simple and when I have tried doing it according to the book it doesn't happen. Parts of the photo are missing or my corners and edges aren't smooth . . . what is the trick as the graphic you used seemed rather detailed.
