    Full Detailed Sig Tutorial

    For this sig I used Jashin’s Brushes Set 12 , which you can download here http://www.freewebs.com/marcelsinteur/Jash...shes_Set_12.abr


    1. First open up a new file , size 400x150!
    White
    RGB Color

    2. Set your foreground and background back to default , to do so press D
    Open up Jashin’s Brushes and start brushing until your complete background is filled like shown below.

    3. After that , go to Layer->New Adjustment Layer->Color Balance
    Press both times Ok without changing anything!
    Now grab the gradient tool

    [​IMG]

    and add a gradient from the left to the right like the picture below!!

    [​IMG]

    4. Then go to Layer->Layer Content Options and change the Color Balance Settings to:
    Shadows:
    0 , -89 , 0

    Midtones:
    63 , 0 , -82

    It should look something like this

    [​IMG]

    5. Then duplicate the Color Balance layer by pressing ctrl+j
    Then invert colors by pressing ctrl+i
    Then repeat step 4 but this time with these settings:
    Shadows:
    100 , 100 , -100

    Midtones:
    0 , -100 , 0

    It should look something like this

    6. Now we’re going to add a render
    Pick a render you like and open it up
    Place it like shown below and put it UNDERNEATH the color balance layers

    [​IMG]

    7. Now take the eraser tool and pick a 100px Basic Brush and set the opacity to 15%
    Now brush a little bit on the sides of the render to blend it in
    It should now look something like this

    [​IMG]

    8. Now we’re going to add text to the sig!!
    Pick the type tool (T) and type whatever you like but make sure you use white text!!
    Now rightclick on your text layer and go to Blending Options
    Just add a Outer Glow with the default settings
    Place it above ALL the other layers
    It should now look something like this

    [​IMG]

    9. This the last step , adding a border!!
    Make a new layer by pressing ctrl+shift+n
    Press ctrl+a to select the whole canvas!
    Go to Edit->Stroke
    Width : 2
    Color : White
    Keep the rest default

    Repeat this but this time make the width 1 and make the color black
    It should now look like below
