    Hey...ever wonder how to be text like this on your sig:
    [​IMG]

    Its actually quite simple. Just follow the steps that I have listed.

    1. Create a new text and make it say whatever you want. I prefer to make the text white (I think it works better)

    2. Highlight the text layer and rightclick it and hit Blending Options.

    3. Once in Blending options, turn the blending mode to soft light.

    4. Now go down to Beveal and Emboss and change the size to 0

    5. Go to stroke and change the color to black and the size to 1

    Badda-Bing-Badda-Boom you have awsome text that blends with your bg color/brushes.

    Enjoy this tutorial and tell me if you found it useful. :)

    Thank you for the ratings. BatMan...using gardient isnt the same. When u use softlight it makes ur text like glass so that the colors of ur bg show through it. With gardiant...you have to match the colors up with the bg and that takes time.

    Yeah sure no prob. If you want a border like mine also...take ur marquee tool and make sure its on rectangular and make a border. I prefer using 1px...but sometime si use 0. Make sure when u make ur border...u make it its own seperate layer. Now make ur border...and then just fill it with black and follow the same steps as the font tutorial i gave and you will have a border that looks just like on my sigs. ;)
