1.Feathering tutorial

 

 

 

Step1) Bring up your sig and the render you want.... if the render is too big ctrl+click the layer pic on ur layers palette to select it then Edit>Transform>Scale and play about with it till its to your liking.

 

 

 

Step2) DONT deselect your render, coz your now gonna copy it. Ctrl+C then go to ur sig, create a new layer, and paste it into that.

 

 

 

Step3) Ctrl+Click the layer pick of ur render in ur sig layers palette (1 uve just posted in) this should select the whole render like earlier.

 

 

 

Step4) Inverse the selection. Select>Inverse or Ctrl+Shift+I.

 

 

 

Step5) Right click ON the actual render with ur select tool selected, and click feather.

 

 

 

Step6) Select between 5 - 10 pixels and hit ok. Voila, a blended sig!!!

Some nice beginner tuts, weeb.

 

Though, I would like to make it clear that just because you've feathered the render doesn't mean it's completely blended. You need to do more to get a more blended finish.

 

Oh, and with the render resizing, you can just press Ctrl + T which puts you into Free Transform mode. Then just click and drag a corner with Shift held, as you said.

 

If you want to be able to edit colours after hue/saturation I recommend using Layer -> New Adjustment Layer -> Hue/Saturation that way you can still edit the colour freely without screwing anything.

 

 

 

Anyway, yes. Good beginner tuts.

'beginner'

 

 

 

and teaching them how to find it through the menu at the top is better me thinks ;o

It's not in Photoshop, it's in ImageReady, Photshop's animation partner in crime.

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you do not see that window when you open ImageReady, go to Window -> Animation.

photoshop ^ if thats what you were asking and in mspaint you can resize but it takes a lot of the quality away.
