    Motion Signature
    --------------------

    Step 1.
    Start a new file with the following settings:
    [​IMG]

    Step 2.
    Then paste the pic that you want in your sig:
    [​IMG]

    Step 3.
    Duplicate that layer and get your lasso tool and put the feather on 20

    Step 4.
    Then make a selection around the most important thing in your signature, in my case the car and then go Select-Inverse
    [​IMG]

    Step 5.
    Then go to Filter-Blur-Motion Blur with the following settings:
    [​IMG]
    The angle depends on what kind of picture you have. In my sig, the car goes leftunder, so my angle needs to be just like that.
    Then put the mode of that layer on Overlay and the opacity around 70 %
    This is what i have now:
    [​IMG]

    Step 6.
    Then duplicate the most under (sorry don't know what ONDERSTE is) layer and get your Single Column Marquee Tool:
    [​IMG]
    Then select a part that has much color, in my case the yellow car.
    [​IMG]
    It may look like that i have nothing selected but with one press on that tool, you select 1 pixel width

    Step 7.
    Then go to Edit-Transform and get it to the 2 sides of the sig, then put the mode on Overlay

    Step 8.
    Now get you Lasso Tool and again delete the part that is laying on the most important thing from your sig, then press delete:
    [​IMG]

    Step 9
    Make a new layer above all other layers and get your favorite GrungeBrush Pack and brush around your focuspoint (in my case the car). Put the mode on Soft Light and vary in Black and White. Make new layers when you are brushing:
    [​IMG]

    Step 10.
    Again make a new layer, get your favorite TECHBRUSHPACK and brush with WHITE and put the mode on OVERLAY. Leave some space for your name
    [​IMG]

    Step 11.
    Then type your name in the space where you didn't put Grunge Brushes. Put the mode on Overlay and at Blending Options Check Drop Shadow with the normal settings. Also check "STROKE", at 1 pixel and a black color

    Step 12.
    *OPTIONAL*
    You think your sig can get some more spicy? Then do this step!

    Go to Layer-FLatten Image, then duplicate that layer and go to Filter-Blur Motion Blur with these settings:
    [​IMG]
    Then put the mode on OVERLAY.

    If your sig is too dark you can always go to Layer-New Adjustment Layer-Brightness Contrast and fill in what you like.

    Step 13.
    Just add a border and your finished!

    Het hoeft niet met auto te zijn hoor ;) Ik heb het ook met een voetbalplaatje geprobeerd, dan neem je gewoon ipv de auto een voetbalspeler

    ------------------------------------------------------------
    It doesn't have to be with a car ;), i also tried it with a soccer pic, instead of the car as focus-point then just pick the soccerplayer

    *At the other:
    Not bad, but it is a bit cloudy. Maybe make a new layer above everything, then go Layer-New Adjustment Layer-Brightness Contrast and then do Brightness on 10 and contrast on 40

    I was a bit unsure with your translations but I think I managed it...

    I didnt have a proper image to start with so I used a render, but I think it's ok.
