Now, most of the more experianced guys here know this very easy image trick, but I have not seen it done much with some of you guys that I don't know... so here's a quickie tut:

1st. Place image into your sig and possition as you may like.
2nd. DeSaturate. We need it black & white. In PS (Image>Adjust>Hue&Saturation) Ctrl+U. Drag the saturation to the far left.(-100)
3rd. Adjust Contrast & Brightness. We want it brighter and in high Contrast. In PS (Image>Adjust>Brightness/Contrast) Adjust the brightness up till the background is clearly white. I did about +30. Adjust the contrast up till you get a very sharp and clear image. I did about +13.

Done.

Tips:
1. This trick works great to create the effect I used in both sigs, but each image is different, and the brightness and contrast will need to be adjusted differently depending on the colors and lighting of your image!
2. Use the sharpness tool to fine tune blushed or blured areas for a crisper contrast... thats this guy:

This is a very easy trick, and you can easily whore this to death! 1000's of different uses.
