Very nice tutorial... will help lots of people.

Can you make a tutorial of how you did this:

by any chance? That was cool.

I don't even use Photoshop for this animation, it's another program called Ulead animator, which you have to pay for. If you give me some barsigs, I could put them together in that style if you like.

Never use size 12 visitor, always keep it in multiples of 10.

7 works for me. But if you download visitor off dafont.com, I believe you get 3 visitor fonts. Visitor -BRK-, Visitor BRK1, Visitor BRK2 (or something like that). You guys are probably using a different one to me

hey yeah, nice tutorial and everything but ure kinda being abit general at the start by saying "im gonna be using some brushes off deviantart", could you post the link or something? and is it copmpatible with photoshop 5.0...cos i got that :oops:

Neo 9001 · **Posted:** August 10th, 2006, 8:36 am

If you had the brushes I was using, they aren't compatible with photoshop 5 anyway

They're CS2. And it doesn't matter what brushes they are, just use any you like. You could have some difficulty finding some PS 5 ones, but you could always make your own (find a tut if you don't know how, perhaps try http://www.pslover.com). Or you could just use a gradient that suits, that can look pretty cool. I believe the tutorial would work on photoshop 5, but you'd have to skip a few of the things like the photo filter, I think.

yeah, thanks, i need help though, i cant upload any of the sigs i made onto photobucket :cry:

it says something to do with it being in the wrong format but i cant change the format, all i can save it as is PSD!

Go on File--->Save For Web. If that isn't there, go on File--->Save As and where is says ".psd" in the drop-down box, change it to .gif or .png or whatever you want, if the option is there. Thats how to solve the picture problem.

With brushes, extract the .zip file, and put the brushes in C:/Program Files/Adobe/Photoshop/Presets/Brushes
