[quote="A-Pek":2b3d6]blending can be done a million ways. depends on what type of blending you want to have done.

as for your sigs. DO NOT OVERUSE LAYER STYLES! they are unimaginative to say the least. layer styles (bevel & emboss, outer glow, etc) are ok because you are just starting out. my advice to you is to do some hard research into tutorials and such. here are a few sites to help you out.

that's about all i can think of right now.

here is a good tutorial on cutting out complex objects (such as hair) from their background and readying them for transplant to a new background.
http://www.myjanee.com/tuts/hair/hair.htm

if you are just cutting out a simple object like that soldier, don't use the lasso at all. use the pen tool. it's frustrating when you first start using it but once you get it it's a great skill to have.

the best thing about tutorials is that you learn how to do new things with old tools. it also shows options you would otherwise disregard.

as for the tools that i use? every single one.

good luck with photoshop. i hope you enjoy it as much as i do. and if you have any questions go to http://www.teamphotoshop.com/forums there are a lot of people there willing to help.[/quote:2b3d6]

i m also trying to make my own sig but how do you make the sig smaller (i mean the kilobytes) and how do i have to save it to jpg or gif

When you save the picture, choose .jpg instead of .psd and use the quality slider to adjust the size of the pic. I generally use the Baseline Optimized option with 9 or 10 quality.

ok thx mangum

here is my first one (i know its not difficult for you guys but for me oOo: )

and i know its almost the same as the one i have but i like red biggrin:

Hey, thats nice... And fast.

I like the red too. Good job, i wish i could make sigs, but i guess i need to keep reading Zoners tutorials.

Better than mine mate nice work, where do you all get your MoHAA pics and soldier pics from? can you please give me a link?

Spidey

I use google to find all my pictures, but i am also wondering where he (and the others) get their pictures from.

its difficult to make good sigs like yours and the others but i m waiting on zoners second tutorial biggrin:

its easy. all you have to do is know how to use layers and anyone on here could make a good sig im sure
