Photoshop - Anime Sig Tutorial Part 1

In this tutorial, I will show you how to create the above signature using smudging, filters, and displacement effects. This is my first signature video in a very long time, so I apologize if things might be poor. I dont have a good format for signature tutorials yet like my XNA tutorials have.

[Whiplashx86]

@NicerBricer Yeah sorry about that. It seems that the author's post got removed. I will try to find a copy of it somewhere.

Sorry, I'm kinda new to this Photoshop. Why is it that when you apply the gradient thingy from left to right, your colour is visible but mine not? >.< And I follow all of your guide yet still... Hope you can help me T_T

[Whiplashx86]

@Ichihara92 Do you get Grayscale or something? What mode are you working in? If you look at the tab or active PSD, it will say TITLE @ ZOOM_LEVEL (LAYER,MODE). What does your MODE say? Is it RGB/8 or something like that?

[MindLessCass]

not sure if you can help me i know this is a bit old but .. i made 2 forum signatures so far. using the gradient scale but now when i use the gradient background thingg. it only applies to the layer copy instead of going to the background whats the problem D:
