It's what MrFenwick suggested for that userbar I did.

http://paint.net/

Boat load of plug-ins and features, and they have a dedicated forum for tutorials.

Oh, I assumed from your photoshop icon you were using photoshop .

I um...HAD.. photoshop. But, no longer do....

But for a free program paint.net is brilliant. A lot easier to use than GIMP.

This is the perfect thread for me to gain insight from. I hope to someday create my own sigs. I know this will take a time, but seeing as how I spend alot of time on the forums, I think it would be nice if I can help members out in more ways than one. Excellent thread

The first 4 tutorial in the guide are your base ground, don't use C4D's and effects, forget them for now, just get familiar with Photoshop and the basics, mainly smudging.

yes I'm just wondering how to make myself into a designer? Because i just got a new computer and put photoshop on it and i am really interested in using it to make people sig's and becoming a designer on here.

Practice. Practice. Eat. Practice some more.

The best way is to look for some simple Photoshop tutorials to get you started and then just mess around in PS. It'll take some time, your first stuff will be crap but as you continue on you'll get better and maybe one day you'll be known throughout the universe! Well, maybe not the last part but people here will love your work.

So just find some simple basic tutorials and just have fun. Don't limit yourself to what others can teach you but try new things.

Use the first 4 photoshop tutorials in the third post as a starting block, those 4 tutorials are the base for any budding signature maker.

They provide the basic understanding of the various photoshop tools, they provide a basic understanding of, lighting and depth, and finally the basics of smudging and blending.

With these 4 tutorials you can make signatures of the highest level. Once you've gotten the hang of these, you then just expand and try more complex tutorials and start adding more elements to your knowledge. But the biggest key once your used to photoshop, is experimentation. My best signatures have come from just playing around with settings, there are some signatures I cant replicate cause I was just messing about and stumbled across a great looking signature.

anyone need or want anything made for maybe a clan or just a name or picture\design of anysort. i airbrush and i can do t-shirts, hoodies anything you want. i just need a message saying what you want/design wise, what you want on it, colors, and what you want made. cost is based on complexity of paintjob. appreciate it thanks! and if you know anyone that needs anything done let me know! i do teams as well.

Tbh, nothing in particular. I just usually browse to see if I like anything. Just picked up a few sets. Maybe I can make a freestyle sig.
