Hey everyone,
This is a signature making tutorial I just made, for those who wants nice and easy to make signatures(as you can see, it's not too long, nor too small).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Step 1:
Start by making a new folder with Graal's Forums max Width(500pixels) and max Height(100pixels). Make sur your background is transparent.
Step 2:
Select a dark foreground color and a lighter background color, then go in :
Filter - Render - Clouds
Step 3:
Add an icon or an image you like on your work. You might need to resize it.
Step 4:
Make a new layer and select the rectangular marquee and do a nice rectangle in the middle of your work. Make sure you leave edges on the top and bottom. Then, right click on your selection, then select: ''Select Inverse''. Then, re-right click your selection and this time, click 'fill'. It should use your foreground color. Make sure you have a 20-50percent transparency on it.
Step 5:
Get the Horizontal Text tool and type in your nickname wherever you want. Then go to the Text Layer's options and make it atleast 50percent transparency so it blends, in my case, I used 29percent opacity.
Optional: You might want to have it all the same color or use color balance aswell. To have it all the same color, hit Ctrl + U and make sure you check the colorize option. For color balance, do CTRL + B. You might want to make the edges of your icon/image smoother aswell, either use a smudge or a blur tool to make it.
This last part is where you customize your signature and do whatever you want to make it look nice. You can add lines on the edges, texture or even more!
