yeh u can do it in 7.0; its not an option u gotta make it yourself and then animate it in imageready; to get to imageready if u don't know already its the bottom button on the tool bar on the left of the screen. its really actually quite an easy tut u should be able to get it, good luck.

*edit* gj getting it; i meanwhile was makin ur name, here it is. i kinda changed it from one color to a couple with the glow.

*edit 2* just for kicks, i decided to make one that glows 2 different colors in a repeated pattern. to do this u can copy the text layer before you go to imageready, and then change the outer glow. once u go to imageready, do the first one as the instructions say. after you finish doing one color glowing, you copy the last frame and do the same thing for the second layer with the different color as you did with the first one. voila.you could do this for a whole bunch of colors in order or whatever.

(example i made 7 squares so i have 6 frames to animate)

7.now on the first frame make the first square 100% opacity and the square next to it 85% opacity, but do both of those on the same frame
[




8.on the next frame make the square you just made 100% make it 85% and make the next square 85%

Heyman, your tut on how to make a fast easy sig on page 2 i cant figure out how to get to the advanced settings for the picture... >_<

its prob just for CS, if u have photoshop 7.0 or something they don't seem to have advanced settings there.

[laMe]

advanced settings dont matter and it might only be for cs

[Veck]

oh, damnit.

[splintercell]

You have to buy Cs in a store don't your?

[laMe]

nope

[splintercell]

New tutorial:: ALERT! ::

Psycho-Grunge Background::

I dont have pics of what I did but Its actually very easy to do and looks good.
I got bored so I messed around with some stuff

1. Open a new image. *create* Make it 500x120 if its a sig anyways.

2. Make a new layer.

3. Fill it Black.

4. Now set ur foreground color to whatever U want it to look like. *I dont prefer doing this till later ull see why.*

5. Render/Clouds

6. Filter Wave Distort: Settings: 75 Number of Generations, Type: Square, Wavelength: 15, 150, Amptitude: 100 100.

7 *optional*. Change the brightness to -35 this is actually something people do alot.

8. now if u did number 4 u might not need to do this. Go to Hue saturation and mess around until U find ur color and ur done.
