Help With Brightness

i need help bad, i can make really nice sigs, but i see theese realyl cool sigs ppl make wher theres dark areas and then theres big bursts of light HOWD U DO IT, if u know what im talkin about please reply.

 

Try going over your sig with a black brush and white brush in different parts, and then set this layer to overlay. You could also fiddle around with the contrast settings to create a bigger contrast of colour.

Brightness / contrast , curves or levels

 

Uh, set blending mode to darken?

 

ye i heard bout set blending to darken, wjhere is that, in blending options when u right click on the layer?

 

Darken is on the options where you get overlay and soft light, near the top.

SET COLORS TO DEFAULT BY PRESSING D
Background-Clouds, Grunge brush it some
Layer1-Grey Grunge Brushing
Layer2-White Grunge Brushing(layer on overlay or soft light)
Layer3-Black Grunge Brushing
Then select>all and then edit>copy merged and hit Ctrl+V go to Filters>Blur>Gaussin Blur at 4 set layer to OverLay
