Full sig tutorial - Foog - 06-28-2005
First of all, ALL credit goes to II nightmare II from nextgfx.com. I did nothing to this.
1) Open up a new document (I used 400x150)
2) Fill background with black.
3) Get out some good brushes, I used Jashins Brushes Set 14 from DeviantArt.com
4) now brush with white over the black
5) Go to Image --> adjustments --> Auto Contrast.
6) Make a new layer and fill it with black, brush again. Go to Image --> adjustments --> Auto Contrast. Now set the opacity to about 63%.
7) Repeat step 6 about 5-6 times, but for your last brushing layer, set it to "overlay" with opacity to 100%.
8) Now that you are done with brushing, find a good render to add to your sig, I will be using conker. Put the image in your sig and set it to "luminosity". Here is what I got:
9) Now add some text. Im not that good with text but I am using the font Waltograph UI, that was with the Walt Disney font at dafont.com biggrin.gif
10) I used these settings for the font:
Color of Font: White
Drop Shadow: Default Settings but with distance at 2 pixels
Inner Shadow: Default Settings but put distance at 4 pixels
Outer Shadow: Default
Bevel and Emboss: Default but with Size at 0 pixels
Satin: Default
Stroke: Default but with 1 pixel size and black color
11) Now I am goin to add subtext. I used Visitor font from dafont.com. I used these settings:
Color: White
Stroke: Default but with 1 pixel size and color black
12) Ok, now its time to add color to your sig. We are going to do a multi-colored effect to the sig. Go to Image --> Adjustments --> Color Balance. I used these settings:
Midtones: +40, 0, -30
Shadows: +40, 0, -30
Highlights: +40, 0, -30
Then go to Filter --> Render --> Clouds
13) To get the multicolored look, do that again but with different colors. Go to Image --> Adjustments --> Color Balance. I used these settings:
Midtones: -20, +30, 0
Shadows: -20, +30, 0
Highlights: -20, +30, 0
Now go to Filter --> Render --> Clouds
14) I am going to do one more layer of color balance, which will give the sig a good multicolored effect. Image --> Adjustments --> Color Balance. I used these settings:
Midtones: 0, -20, +20
Shadows: 0, -20, +20
Highlights: 0, -20, +20
Now go to Filter --> Render --> Clouds
15) Almost done! All we have to do now is add a border. Make a new layer then hit CTRL+A . Go to Edit --> Stroke. I used: Width=2 pixels, Color=Black, Location=Center, Everything else default.
16) On that same layer go to blending options. Go to stroke. Use 2 pixels, color=White, Blend Mode=Overlay, Opacity at about 63%.
EDIT- If you want jashin's brush sets (which are amazing) go to j-a-s-h-i-n.deviantart.com

You're supposed to use the clouds filter on the color balance, MiVeC.
