magictv Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 Photoshop 7 and above Hi, this is my tutorial on how to colourise your sig and blend a render into it. Here is the final product. Firstly brush yourself a nice background with colourless brushes. Like this Secondly paste your render into the document on a new layer without its background. Then rotate yor render to a crazy angle, duplicate this layer and rotate it again moving it somewhere else on the sig. Continue to do this until you have covered most of your sig then hit ctrl e to merge the layers important only merge the layers with your render on not the background layer. You should have something like this Now, go filter>blur>gaussian blur. I use settings like 9.4 normally then when you have done that set the layer mode to "overlay" Now past your render in the posistion you would like it to be in the finished sig. Remember to feather it like this. First duplicate your render layer, do a small gaussian blur on the lower layer, about 0.5 or 1. Now, go select>load selection and select the top render layer, then do select>modify>contract something like 4 pixels. Then do select>feather and do about 4 pixels or something similar. Then select inverse and hit delete. So far it should look something like this except the render in the below image is not feathered because I forgot. #-o Now, do a google search for the brushes "sparkleps7" and brush on two layers. One above your render and one below in white as if your render is in cloud of sparks. You should have something similar to this. You could end here and add text and a border but I did more. Next you should add a colour balance layer, if you feel the colours are not right somewhere, fiddle with the settings and the layer mask to get the colours right. Also I added a brightness/contrast layer so feel free to do this Next add a simple border Finish it off with some nice text and you are done. Of course you could add more stuff such as scan lines and other things but I left it at that. Any mistakes or questions you have just ask. Also please could you post your final results, if you do I will love you forever. XD enjoy. [/bads] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fegan Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 If you need help. Ctrl and click the layer. Select, Feather, 20px (dependent on render and signature size) Shift+ctrl+I (Reclick on the layer if you have to) Delete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlos74 Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 I used the method to randomly place colors, but used layer masks on color balance to actually make the colors. Was made for a clan competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goldwolflord Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 Every single search I do on google brings back invision pages that have long gone, and other pages that have sold themselves to those bloody search things... I can't find the brushes anywhere (sparkleps7)... Can someone add me on msn, or host them somewhere? (I did find one link, but it was broken - some tomoga or something... Went ot a search engine. >_> ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
