Hello All you guys. in this tute we're gonna learn how to make a background movie style border(no not that plain black movie border ) Have Fun and Good Luck First You make your sig like you wanted. i did it somehow with the colorbalance mode This is my result. Then you make all layers invisible except for your background layers. Then Flatten your image(Layer -> Flatten Image) and discard hidden layers. Now select the piece you want as your border(height doesn't matter width must be the full 100% of your sig) Now copy this piece and press CTRL+ALT+Z(undo). Now your signature contains layers again, and we're gonna make ehm all visible again. Copy your piece of border into the sig(CTRL+V) and place it un the upper and below part of your signature. Make sure you put them under your color balance layer if you have one. Now we are going to border the borders . Create a new layer and press CTRL+A and do a 1px black stroke inside(edit -> stroke) Now Pick the single row marque tool and make your foreground color black and stroke the borders on the inside. Now we are going to drop a shadow on the signature(no don't just do a layer style drop shadow cause that won't work). Creat A new Layer(in our out of your color balanca doesn't matter). Select everything what's not border with your marque tool. Then Pick Your Gradient Tool(take your foreground black and mode: Foreground to invisible) and make 2 gradients that should be the shadows Now make your opacity of that layer like 30/50% opacity And your done Here's my result.
