A nice pixel stretched signature that will fit for any forum
Difficulty:
Step 1:
Create a new document, a relatively good size, such as 400x150.
Step 2:
Filter>Render>Clouds. Do that like 3 times to get a nice mix.
Step 3:
Take out those brushes and make a nice layer of grunge, abstract, or whatever. Make sure to switch from black to white using X.
Step 4:
Get a picture or render from anything you want. www.clantemplates.com has some nice game renders. Select only the picture, making sure there is basically no background, and copy it. Ctrl+C or Edit>Copy.
Step 5:
Go back to you signature you were working on earlier and paste the picture you just copied. Move it to a good space where you want it to be.
Step 6:
Grab the Single Column Marquee Tool, and click on an area on the picture you pasted. Then press Ctrl+C, then Ctrl+V, then Ctrl+T. Now you can stretch the area you copied and pasted. Stretch it all across the signature. Then move the pixel stretch layer below the picture or render but above the brushed layer. Set the layer to Overlay.
Step 7:
Now to add the text. Take the text tool using any good font and type in what you want. Then for the layer style, add a drop shadow with a degrees of 169, and change the opacity to like 90. After that, set the text layer to Overlay. Now you're done!~
