    I dont think every render needs to be blended in. You should ask does this render need to be blended, and why? The answer is usually to make it fit more into the sig and not to stand out much.

    I find that if you have a background that matches the render perfectly, then "blending" the render becomes totally unnecessary.

    And Mack, there are 4 different layers for the background, each with a different brush. All 4 duplicated and set to overlay to add depth to the backgound.

    The render is actually 3 layers, the first slightly deleted around the edges with a soft pixel brush at 23% opactiy, set to soft light. The second deleted much more with the same settings, and set to overlay. The third has a Gaussian Blur of 3 pixels.

    The font I went and downloaded fron dafont.com after I found none of those I already had would fit. The text setting is not on the default and I added a gradient to it.

    Then there is the colour balance layer for the blue colours. Then another layer filled with orange and set to colour. I then used (yet) another brush to delete parts of it so the blue could show.

    Then there is the border which is Satin and Bevel and Embossed.

    Another layer for the lens flare which is set to screen.

    So that makes 15 layers, and not just "made mulitcolor added text and a render".

    I also did the render myself. it's in the premium section if you wish to see it.

    bg is very nice, but don't know about the border color. And your right about blending.
