    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?

    I might sound dumb or whatever, but I don't get what to do for the link on patterns and stuff...

    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.

    How do I open a transparent image that it says I need to open?

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