    Resize it first, if you finish it, then resize it, it won't look good.

    <div class="quote_poster">Quoting Vintage:</div><div class="quote_post">How do you make a player have a shadow of himself.......sort of like DeeStillBallen's with Dirk.....
    </div>
    for the shadow, erase the background of the bball player so that all you see is him. press ctrl+a, then ctrl+c, then ctrl+v. you should have a new layer. go over to the Layer Pallet, click on the layer of the bball player, like this:
    [​IMG]
    and change the opacity by clicking the arrow next to opacity and pick the one you want:
    [​IMG]
    play around with it until you get something you like.

    do any of you guys want me to write a sig tutorial?

    Yeah sure, make a tutorial for sigs please.

    It's the 7th tool in the left row of the toolbar. It is a drop, like a drop of water. If you cannot see it, then right-click on the seventh tool and you should see three types of tools, "blur tool," "smudge tool," and a "sharpen tool."

    I did everything, now it won't let me touch the opacity. I cannot click on it, it's not available. What do I do?

    Click on that link, the one for patterns. Then it will take you to the page, click on the pattern you want to make. I suggest making all of them, as they are all quite useful. Then just follow the steps to making the selected pattern.

    Click File>New, and then towards the bottom should be three bubbles (under the title of "Contents"). Choose "Transparent," and press "OK."
