Photoshop Tutorial - Creating a Forum Signature

[asx305]

Can you make me a signature? lol

[lusis987]

Hey, montagical, can you tell me - where can i download that brush?

And jeah, I like your tuttorials :) Waiting for something new.

[mikeortiz410]

Nice tut. I'm new to this so I'll definitely be checking out some more of your videos.

[ashbow97]

Very nice tutorial! :) Made a pretty decent Darth Vader signature in around 15 minutes... and I'm an absolute beginner xD

[TheVarveklis]

[ w w w ][dot]adf[dot]ly/41sbf

very good photoshop brushes :)

[ThePokeruler]

Everytime I save mine and try to upload it is says it doesn't support this file. I tried opening it with paint but it doesn't work either. Can anyone help me?

[dragoonbb30]

@ThePokeruler You probaly are saving it as a PSD file.You need to save it as a jpg or png file if you want to uplaod it.

[ThePinguinVlog]

im not that nice with photo shop -.-

[davey1694]

I was just wondering on the pic you showed before you started the tutorial on the left arm of the halo soldier it's a little bit lighter, what did you use to make it lighter?

[davey1694]

[YnneeeK]

Check my videos :D

They arent tutorials but they are pretty good and i guess u can get ideas from watching =)

[Blemmed]

i got a pic but its to big what to do?

[TheMephile]

@SawBuuster : Either you can google Photoshop brushes or search it on Deviantart.

[staarskriim]

Same Q here... Where to find new brushes?

[DrunkenDutchie]

@staarskriim Google it

[FeatureHD]

<3

[sawbuuster]

I would like to know too, where do I get new brushes?

[Rittsa22]

Dude, You're fucking awesome. Thanks. :)

[Jinchuur1ki]

HoW DID you put your render in your photoshop . So CONFUSEEEEE

[CakeBeneathTheIcing]

@Jinchuur1ki you can go into file, open, and then find your image. he already had his render in a document, so he just dragged it.

[IMakeMw2Videoz]

How do u save it?

[panos21r1]

@IMakeMw2Videoz lol

[Auriowis]

@IMakeMw2Videoz File > Save As > Choicee JPG file.

[NilDerp]

@IMakeMw2Videoz The only way I found to save it so far was in JPEG form and let me say, it craps on the quality even at that.

But if you really need to you can go to File>Script?>Image Processor then change the quality to 12. Still may not look as good as it does in the editing screen though, usually that has to do with transparent layers though. Still working on solving that part.

[m4harmony]

Good Tut imma try and make one too ;D

[m4harmony]

Nice Tut ;D 

[nldkri]

thank you very much .... 

[TheDarkshark123]

[TheDarkshark123]

[xMxKillerx]

Thank you for this. I've never been able to use photoshop before, and this has boosted my confidence in it.

[x3Magee]

Where's the link to get to that program, I'm on Photoshop but I don't know where to go to the signature section. Can you give me the link please ?

Thanks = ]

[Nocchidesu4]

Can you import your own photos from your pictures folder?

[ShadowSasuke31]

as i watched this, " Straight Out of Compton" was playing in another window. Rofl

[thejoaozito01]

great vid mate ! ;)

[dakkadakka123]

Hey, very nice tutorial man. Just having a small problem with the beginning part, rendering in the cloud effects for the background. It just comes in as a block of black. Any ideas why this is?

[grovergep]

what do u press to open the brushes like that faster without clicking the icon

[ZwiReKProductions]

To all experienced photoshopers who want to get featured on youtube,

More info in this video

/watch?v=DaoR2_2HJvM

[COMBATxFREAK]

Thanks dude u learned me something :D

[ThomasDemko]

JESUS! Volume was up and you SCARED THE LIVING SHIT OUT OF ME

[PersonSmiley]

on your original you added render-> Lens Flare and then added some low opacity bright brushes, but you didn't do it in the tutorial. It was pretty basic, but yea the tutorial is pretty nice for beginers.

[themoose1986]

bit more direction a little please-- i lost u when you "Bring out some grundge brushes" and the pop up appeared from nowhere - where do i select new grundges?

[darkshad109]

@themoose1986 He clicked the brush tool and in the top left is a drop down of the different types of brushes. He recommended you download some extra brushes so you have more style at your exposal. This tutorial is for beginners, but you should know how to use the basic tools of the program, he isn't teaching you photoshop basics here, hes teaching sig basics. Theres plenty of video's teaching you about tools.

[AtPGaming]

At one point you say to feather to 25 pixels but I don't see where you go to do it. Did you use a hotkey or something?

[CarbonFibreX]

wow! great tutorial! this is awsome tought me some knew techniques... you got nother SUB

[billabongs623]

It's not an advanced signature, that's for sure.

[bfoster15no2]

@billabongs623 Who said it was gonna be?

[187KillerClown187]

Nice Job very clear voice and very simplified

[TheLuckyDraw]

[QsBen]

[Dream3rDB]

Evrything goes fine, untill the moment i clicked at image, the hue/saturation is .. sort of invisible.. i mean it's there but i can't click it, help? XD

[jaagupcool6]

Youre from Estonia ? If yes, than your English is very well :D

Btw, nice tutorial.

[iSoMuchWin]

@jaagupcool6 He isnt from Estonia....What makes you think that anyway?

[jaagupcool6]

@iSoMuchWin How do you know what?

In video info. "Special thanks to Maagiapall for this tutorial! youtube (.) com/maagiapall"

Maagiapall is an Estonian word, thats why I was whinking that hes from Estonia.

[iSoMuchWin]

@jaagupcool6 He is thanking the person named Maagiapall,so he cant thank himself can he?...

[CRUGaming]

Could somebody send me the render? thx!

[BradburyGuy]

Copy a layer—hold down the alt key and drag down below the current layer. Much faster.

[asuramage]

[darkmvr]

[rumblyblu]

any1 know where i can get renders that have invisible backgrounds because the ones on renderplanet have black background and when i put it on my sig it just a blak square with a picture on it, i want renders without the black square.

[TheRealSmokingNinja]

@rumblyblu Use scissor tool or w/e to cut the img out....that is if you wanna take time, other than that good luck :)

[rumblyblu]

[Robeto9]

Even for a beginner tutorial, this is pretty good.

Make a more advanced tutorial with C4D's and more brushes.

[MrRellee]

i also made one watch this :

/watch?v=f3bfprcnye4

[skaterforlife0000]

thanks this really helped me with my sig hope you get good comments on this

[tyrael6191]

It's not shit, it's just not that great. Perhaps a few more effects could be used, i.e. diaplacement, C4Ds or clip masking. Also, for a nicer finish, make the border a solid black line only at the top and bottom of a sig. Then, make sure the text is plain and simple, no fancy fonts, no bevels or strange colours. Position it closer to the render.

If anyone wants to see any example, i've put up a tutorial.

[Sherryaar]

@tyrael6191 yes mate,

its just beginner tut ;)

[NGUSkittle1024]

How do you drag a picture without taking the background with it?

[ole1169]

[iiiJosh]

@iiiJosh Nevermind, its just in a very awkward spot.

[packofdogs1]

tinypic

@LINK5 Use Photobucket, it's free to use and an awesome hosting site.

Or tinyurl, but photobucket is more reliable.

[tpimp105]

[ErinMarch]

@XKoreXX

Hai dere boss!

[Finn6789]

how funny is that. gimp 2, better than photoshop. good joke. <3

well, i love gimp itself, worked for it around a year, but looking at the work i just put into some stripes, curves or good typopics and comparing that to doing the same thing with ps.. would be a lie if i said gimp would be better, even if i like working with it more, because its more fun for some reason, in my opinion. :D

[cchhrriiss41]

[DaRanger1993]

[CriSoldier]

YOU PIRATE STUFF?!

Hehe xD

[HDTVGamePlay]

No one is buyng, that's why internet is for

[TrembledLove]

this makes me dizzy how do i feather T-T

[ZacharyCraft2007]

Fantastic tutorial! I learned more here in minutes, than I have in the passed year.

[tataye69]

For fading just ctrl+click on the layer to select only the render>ctrl+i>right click father(depends 1-5)>delete

[porlopo]

Basic but but helps a lot >;)

[MrAlexWick]

FINALLY, a person who actually talks in their tutorial, thank god

[br0wnprid3209]

lol how come i cant put grudgy brushes on a new layer..

?

[R33TardCA]

Who can make me a signature? I will send you the things you need, I'm just having too much of a problem trying this.

[lordprind]

I will render your pictures, but as far as making you a sig then no. But I always have a problem with making people sigs. I can never find what they like so they usually dont like it.
