For non sports related photos, just go to www.google.com > Image Search As for fonts, go to www.dafont.com, download the fonts you want, take the font file and place it in the Fonts folder under the Control Panel on your computer. Very very simple.

I'm trying to download a font from dafont.com and I clicked save. I then found the font folder under Control Panel. After that I tried dragging the saved font into the Font Folder but it says: Unable to install the font. File".../yikes.zip" is either invalid or damaged.

Ok, on Photoshop CS2 (My time is running out!) it wont let me use brushes, and it has a little lock sign next to them. What do i do? How do i add color after i add a filter? How do i cut out a pic to take out the background? Should i use the freeform pen then cut? If so, then how do i zoom while in freeform so i dont completely jack up the cuts?
When I cut, I find the most effective way is just to use the crop tool, get out most of the rubbish you dont want there, then get the lasso tool, go around the shape of the thing (try and leave about a half a CM of background around the player of whatever it is you're cutting) then zoom right in to 1600%, and using the eraser (I use it on 3px) just go around the outline of the player, you'll get a close cut to the pixels this way. It sounds time consuming, but it isnt really, the cuts I did on Franchise4Evers "24/7" sig (which seemed to get high praise from a few people for the cutting being so crispe) took around half an hour to cut both. Also to make it easier for you, if you're cutting somthing for a sig, down size it to fit the signature first, that way you save alot of time, as the bigger the photo, the more time it takes to cut. As for the Brush thing, I dont know what the deal is there, maybe because its only the trial version? I dont understand your filter question, what do you mean by adding colour once you've done a filter effect? (I rarely use Filters BTW)

I use brushes, and / or blending stock images for backgrounds. To add colour you just use the paint bucket tool, I always put the colour on a seperate layer, and either put it at the very bottom, or top of the brush work etc. then blend it over the top of it. Like in my sig for example, its a photo manipulation, thats the original photo, I just added some brush work, blur effects and a layer of colour which I just put on 'Overlay'.

How do i resize the image onto the background part? How do i get brushes? Whats blending?And how do you do it? How do you put blur effects?
Once i lasso and erase, then what do i do? You cut... I already explained this in detail a few posts up... How do i resize the image onto the background part? Go to Edit > Free Transform, take one of the corners once the Free Transform box comes up, hold shift and drag it to the size you want. How do i get brushes? www.deviantart.com or just do a google search Whats blending?And how do you do it? Blending of images, you can just mess around with the Opacity, Feather tool or layer options to blend images. How do you put blur effects? Filter > Blur Effects
K, lol i keep coming up with more questions, sorry. How should i save the brushes? Like to where? How do i add font? Where is Opacity? How can i make a border? BTW, anybody can answer my question, i mean like if you know.
Lol, ok ill post in here then. How do you make that bright spot, where light comes from, like in Windmill's D Howard one?. How do you make backgrounds? Like the mixed martial arts sigs that you made. For this sig that you made for M21, how did you blend the colors and pics? Once you brush somewhere, how do you color it?
Notorious, honestly, the best way to learn how to do things is to read the TUTORIALs. I dont use most of the techniques NT uses, and we all come up with our own ways with practice and study. My suggestion before asking anymore questions is to visit Deviant Art or Good Tutorials and follow step by step signature designs. Just google Photoshop Signature Tutorials, Im sure there will be many links. You will not learn PS2 in 30 days. lol. It takes practice, practice and more practice. Google info on the tools, their uses, etc... Research signture techniques. Its all found on the WORLD WIDE WEB.
