making the image really clear without smart sharpen
getting cool things in my signatures ( rocks,stars,lasers,etc)
making my signatures lower in kb
theres many more i need help with but i will add more and more for help the more and more i learn

It takes time but you can do it.

Step 1 - is making sure you have the right program, you will need photoshop cs 3 + in order to have success.

Step 2 - is learning basics like smudge, filters, focals and placements.

Brushing is very simple, you select your brush, settings then brush by clicking.

To enter your brush settings:


Click the object in the red box..

what are c4d's etc? im confused as to some of the things

^this youtube tut is also pretty easy to follow, since you can see everything he does - he adds alittle c4d and make a simple background, and pretty nice outcome, try it

good luck, I have faith in you, voted I'm going to try, maby succeed and maby keep making signatures

I'm going to fail miserably and quit
sorry but that's the truth, and i'm not implying that i'm good @ it or anything.

I Think Every1 Get It If They Try Long Enough..
So Keep Up.. May Take A While But I Am Sure u Can Do It

this made like no sense and i already have an account there... ive been focusing on some animation stuff
