p.s. need a scan lines tut... found one on good tuts but it crashed my explorer

Scan lines:

Make a image 7x7.

Zoom in as far as u can.

Take the pencil. This is the fun part make dots whereever u want. But if u want scan lines make a straight line across or a box.

Now u go to Edit>Define Pattern

Then u go to the sig or whatever u want them on and go to edit> fill then switch it to pattern and pick ur pattern.

18. Now to add pixel font, This mainly all depends, I usually just go with a color

overlay and a 1px black stroke, good pixel fonts are seroius2, sevenet, and 042_b, use these at

8 size.
19. Now for the border, make a new layer and make sure its the top layer besides the

color balance, press 'L' to get the lasso tool, Right click on the signature, and choose
select all. Right click again and choose stroke, 3px black stroke, right click again and

choose stroke, 2px color of your choice, right click one more time and choose 1px black
stroke.

There you go, you got a nice looking forum signautre, this tutorial covered text, background,

border, and render blending.

not a bad tut heyman. U should add a levels change though. Itd look better.

thanks thats the first suggestion that hellped me from you:rolleyes:

Easy div layer banner.

1. Find a good render *picture for it*

2. Make a new image (533 by 383)

3. Filte>Render>Clouds x3 *or until it looks good*

4. Filte>Render>Diff Clouds x3

5. Now take ur render *picture for the banner* and cut out all of the background.

6. Then copy and paste the image over the clouds and put it on the top layer or bottom layer this is up to you ull see why later.

7. If u put it on top set blending mode to Linear light or pin light.

8. If u put it on bottom set the clouds to screen or overlay.

9. Now look for a good background.

10. Merge all layers.

11. Take the background u found and paste it to the picture and but it on the bottom and set the top part to blending mode Soft light.

This is a decent div layer banner.

maybe put up a finished product
