this is QUITE a bit better than your first;.
a few things:
I'd recomend adding a border to it by:
1)making a new layer
2) Ctrl+ A
3) Edit>Stroke
4)2 or 3 px Black Inside

And i would personally get rid of the outer glow around the guy.

anyways great improvement!

Dont worry about it, those sort of borders look terrible.

Just read a lot of tutorials and youll find your way over time.

two things-

never use outer glow around your stock/render when you first learn ps!!

also, leave the text off for now until you learn more about type, your signatures will look 100x better



your second one is much nicer than your first, good job :)

Not saying that I suggest you do what he recommends, but to get around the error, make sure that you have a layer selected (preferably an empty one on the top) and have the rectangular marque or similar tool like that selected. Afterwards, click in the middle of the signature. From there on, proceed with his steps.
