Well I have a version of photoshop, think its an old one lol
its photoshop CS2
And I was wondering if this works fine for making sigs or not, or if I need a newer version
If I need a newer version which one would I want?
Because I was looking through some tutorials and they were talking about a 'c4d' and I couldnt find it anywhere, so I help menu'd it and nothing came out
So I think that tell's me I might need a better version

So, where can I find c4d's in photoshop cs2 or what version do I need that works best for sig making etc
(sorry im new to photoshop and dont know much about it O: )

First of all, your version of photoshop is perfectly fine for editing signatures and is often times more reliable than some of the later versions. I've fallen in love with CS3 but if you don't want to go through the hassle of downloading it all over again CS2 will do swimmingly.

Now onto your question about c4ds! These mysterious c4ds that most tutorials mention aren't going to be found in photoshop - they're images created in a program called Cinema4D that are typically used to make sexy lighting effects possible in signatures. You can find massive amounts of these online. Here's a link to start you out - http://www.thedesignworld.com/renders/abstract-renders/

I hope this helped, and welcome to the wonderful world of gfx

Yeah indeed, photoshop CS2 is more than enough for signatures. Would just like to point out that C4D renders can also be used as a main focus as well, I know I do and I think they come out pretty cool with my own c4ds atleast.





But yeah these days pretty much every mainstream sig you see have c4d used as a lighting effect or used as an effect instead of being a focal.:D

Adding onto the resources for c4d renders: http://browse.deviantart.com/?qh=&section=&q=c4d+render+pack Knock yourself out. I prefer to make my own though.:P
And for PS I always go to http://www.pixel2life.com/ when I need to learn some new technique.:D
General renders would be http://planetrenders.net/renders/index.php you have to register though but it's worth it, they have alot of stuff in there too.:D

And yeah good luck and have fun with the gfx making! Looking forward to seeing your stuff.:D
