    It's a peice of software me and my friends are working on. What it does is generate a signature using a very complex method.

    The software is preloaded with 300+ signature backgrounds, and 50 text styles. What the software does is allow you to choose a render, then the software analyzes the renders colors and choose the most appropriate background and text style. On top of this it "smart sharpens" the render and applies various effects. It can also do blending (this feature is still in early development). Then it generates the sig as a psd in a target folder.

    You can even add your own text styles, backgrounds, and brushes.

    Would any of you guys buy this software if we were to sell it? If so how much would you pay? I'm thinking 100 credits.

    We are still working on this software, it is not finished yet.

    The purpose of generating the psd's is so that people can learn. Yes they can be sold but our purpose was to allow amateurs to make signatures and learn from them.

    People can analyze the layers and learn how the signature is formed. It's similar to using a tutorial.

    i wouldnt buy it because all the genearate sigs may look the same, and its sort of cheating and takes the fun out of photoshop. some people who are not very good at GFX, or dont enjoy it may like this though.

    I wouldn't buy it or recomend it at all.

    signatures are a form of art and everyone has there way of doing things and if you put out some kinda sig generator then all the noobs from then on who buy your product will look the same and then everyone will look the same and the creatvity part of makin Sigs is gone, It'll be the eqivelent to making cheats for CS. it's giving people the easy way out when makin sigs is about thinkin up an idea and trying to draw it up in PS. the best part of makin sigs is learning to do it your self not have some .exe with presets do it for you. It took great skill, time, and effort for most artist to get where they are today and to bring something like this out would be a waste of time and brain cells.


    sorry but that's IMO

    What, you mean automatically like copying and pasting stuff from tutorials? It's almost the same concept, if you think about it.
