Signature Tutorial

It won't let me flatten the image, then when I go to colorize, it only changes the outside of the object.

 

try Layer>Merge Visible. you cant colorize the entire image until the layers are merged/flattened

But why did you have to ruin it by putting Jalen in it?
J/K....(its not ruined....... I just am anti-Jalen)</div>
haha. the picture was easy to edit. i'm not entirely pro jalen.. i'd trade him in a second if we could get a better defender who can score halfway decent

 

<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Click the eraser tool () At the top of the screen, next to where it says "Brush:" click on the arrow, and choose either 17 or 21:</div>

why in the world would you use a brush so big for a sig... a smaller brush for a sig would make more sense... better cut... its kinda common sense...

 

yes i use a size 3 brush or smaller sometimes to make it look cleaner.

 

my theme song should be...

"Simply the best... better than all the rest..."

 

i should specify. i use a smaller brush when i get to the details. i'll edit that.

 

nevermind. i already had that in there

 

How do u do that thing like in purehoops sig. Where there is the pic behind the pic?

 

make a new layer, copy the pic of KG (or whoever you're using) and paste it onto the new layer. colorize it (image>adjust>hue saturation) so it's the same color as the background and then change the opacity (see the layer pallet) of the pic to a number in the 50's or less. then copy and paste the original pic on top of it in a new layer.

I have a couple more questions. How do u mae a cool background like in your amare pic, and i downloaded a font, and its not in photoshop, how do i get it in there?

 

installing fonts:

As for backgrounds, I use the wave filter a lot (filter>distort>wave) and the lense flare filter (filter>render>lense flare). there's lots of sites that have tutorials, such as voidix.com, spoono.com, teamphotoshop.com, stridingstudio.com/tutorials

 

Thanks, your the best :mrgreen:

 

actually just duplicate the layer and then follow her steps... much faster...
