So I'm making a new tutorial since you didn't really like the last one ( I admit, It was dumb), so I hope you will like this one.

Okay starting, not b4 we start I'm not so good at the program photoshop so I'm showing with what I'm capable with.

So this is the sig I'm using to demonstrate:


Requirements: Photoshop/ Imagready

Lets start with the Tutorial by steps:

  • Step 1: Get a screen shot (SS) of you In-game (Print Screen)
(click to show/hide)
  • Step 2: Crop the Image to any size you want ( I used 85 width and 70 hight ) with the Crop tool.
  • Step 3: After you cropped your image go to Cooltext.com and pick any text you like. This is the Text I chose:
(click to show/hide)
  • Step 4:Open the text you created with the Screenshot you took
(click to show/hide)
  • Step 5: Choose the Move Tool and pick up the text you created and simply move it To your Screenshot

And walla! You got yourself a sig:


Enjoy!

Not really a true sig. More of a picture with text of your choosing. I suggest you should try to watch some guides and make someone a bit cooler that might take more time.

Do you secretly advertise for cooltext or something?  :P

It's kind of unfortunate that photoshop has so many design elements and it cost so much (though most people crack it), yet you're only using it to paste pre-made text (you might as well tell them to use paint). You could seriously download any custom text pack for usage in photoshop (which is as easy to do as this tutorial) and play around with the brushes and filters to start if you don't know how layers and some other functions work.



I suggest that you actually go learn some actual skills in gfx before posting tutorials. Sorry  :P  I know I'm not someone who heavily partakes in gfx, but I at least know how to use most if not all of the elements in photoshop to properly edit a picture.

Then what's "a true sig" for you?
I'm pretty sure a sig is w/e you write below the sign that says "Signature:" on your profile..

@RK's  I already have said I don't know how to make my own, The site cooltext gives you a chance to generate Names, etc. for yourself
inb4 you say I stole something, this site is made for people to do thing such as a sig.


You all see? I made my 1st Tutorial, you didn't like it and say I steal. Okay no biggy, I changed it.
Now you're still negative about it! Why are you always negative about only my posts?
I think this is a very specific and EASY Tutorial and I don't really see what's wrong with it.

The problem is your "sigs" are very easy to do and like 0.15% of people will use it (not trying to be rude). Look up for some tuts and put your time in sigs.

You should actually go look some tutorials and learn how to make signatures instead of just adding a text on a picture which isn't really considered as a signature.

What do you think a signature is? I don't think you know what it is.

In signature I meant the signature we all have, Meaning: any picture or writing you have after every post you make, I didn't mean any other thing..    You know, the thing admins created on forums so people can see your signature under your posts?
the thing called "Signature:" on the profile section?

My Pc is S**t, barely works on high..


Gawd piple. you always have something wrong to say and only about my *****ng posts!
i made a Tutorial for a REALLY QUICK sig for people to use, because some people (as myself) don't know how to do "tuts" and S**t like that. Tell me what's so wrong about making a "5 step siggy"?
WHY DOES IT BOTHERS YOU?

something like "nice tutorial, didn't like it though" Would'v worked..

It makes your pc "stuck" as you put it because maybe your computer can't keep up with the graphics. It's nothing to do with the game, perhaps just buy a new graphics card and even ask them to put it in your pc for you if you don't already know how to do it.

It's not only "your" posts. Many people have had criticism and comments made about their posts because of bad ideas or just because they don't see any point in the post, or what your opinion involves. Not everyone can see eye to eye, and like everything in life. It's not just you, you're not special. I appreciate the fact you made a tutorial on this, and the fact you put time of your day away too do this to help/benefit other people, so good job only for the fact you decided to try too help people. However, too improve this you could try download some free programme's and attempt at taking some feedback, or advice from a fellow person with skills of gfx, and learn how to do really time-taken, amazing art-work which would be admired more. If you post something like this, your bound to get people who don't like it, because of the quality and how easy it is too do and doesn't benefit many just for example in-game you have giga parts which everyone has, but everyone wants items like jack, darkmeto, metowing etc. This tutorial is like a giga part, signature's created by people who take time and effort and days sometimes too make are like the rare/zylon items. If you complain because you don't know how to do tutorial's, then perhaps take the time your spending on making low quality one's, to try and learn new and better skills to make more appealing and better tutorials that could help a more wider array of people in the community. You say, nice tutorial don't like it though but then if they said it was nice, they would be lying if it is their personal opinion they are just saying what they think and giving you feedback on it. Wouldn't you prefer the truth then a lie?, and critism is given help you understand it's bad. You could do better, all the time in life you will be told you suck at things, you can't do this, you can't do that. Well instead of giving feedback like you have just accept the fact people don't like it and improve yourself to prove them wrong. The only reason they post so much on your posts, is because you post a lot of them, quite often that's why it may seem it's only you. Just try take more time and think about things. Just trying too help i hope, well upwards and onwards, look forward to seeing some good sigs from you in time to come.

Idk, Have your own style of pic, creativity, but we both meant 2 different things, so that doesn't really matters.

You didn't have any style or creativity though. All you did was add a text and got a random picture and didn't do anything thing to it.

a signature can be anything, I don't get why you're even arguing about this. if he wants to show people how to make a signature the way he does it, then let him.

The only thing i recommend to you is to not get so mad when someone gives there opinion. Selene is just trying to put you in the right path to making a good signature using gimp or photoshop. Yes, your picture with text is technically a signature but if you have seen Angrods, Ians and Detreks work you would know what a true signature is. We are all here just trying to help no need to get mad at people. I can't judge to much because  i used to have a short temper and get mad at people for trying to help me and now i realize it was all said to help me succeed in the long hall. If someone offends your work then prove them wrong for the next time and show them you can be victorious.

As I already have said, I don't know any better -_-..
And as I've already said, I am trying to show how to make a cool (or not) picture with your name on it, instead of having a normal text of "IGN: xxxxx"
Maybe you don't like it, and maybe most of you know how to make it, but maybe I've helped 2% of who saw this (or not).
If it's not exactly a "sig" (that I've already said, a sig in the profile that said "Signature:") then how exactly do you want me to call it?
Maybe a Tutorial for a lame picture with your name on it?

I will try to show a better Tutorial when I learn (possibly) how to make cooler Pictures of my own (and not a lame screen shot).
Maybe you will same lame, I will say a start..

P.s: Can any of you gimme a link for Photoshop CS4 or 5 cracked? (6 works only for better windows and mine is windows Xp)
