Making A Signature

[Ravenskid2085]

So I want to make a signature, but I've never done it before.
First I need to figure out how to crop just bodies out of backgrounds.
then i need a software to make the signature.

Thanks for the help if you can

You can download a free 30 day trial version of photoshop from adobe.com or you could kick out the 70 bucks for it.

To take players out of pictures, I just use the eraser to erase the background. Its time consuming and tedious and if you dont get it right it wont look right. I am sure there is an easier way to do it but I havent figured it out yet.

You don't want to be taking Neepo's advice on making signatures. Believe me, I'd know.

To cut out what I want from an image I use the Freeform Pen Tool in Photoshop and slowly make my way around it, then make the selection and it will be separate from the background. I then use a small eraser on the edges if needed!

There's already pre-cut images online that you can use to make it easier, these are the sites I use:

[url="http://officialpsds.com/"]Official PSD's[/url]
[url="http://www.o2designz.com/index.php"]o2Designz[/url]
[url="http://planetrenders.net/"]Planet Renders[/url]

You will also find tutorials on those sites to help you get started!

I would recommend a program called GIMP, it's a free graphic editing application very much like Photoshop. I find it easier to learn and use. The only problem is it can't open .psd files.

Heres a link to GIMP if you want it...[url="http://www.gimp.org/"]http://www.gimp.org/[/url]. I've got many of the renders you will find on those sites in .png form if you need them. Good Luck!

How has the word gimp not been censored, and yet *** is/was for a very long time censored.

Nope, it's still censored. +1 to whoever guesses what the stars are covering.

No, you won't get a warning from the mods for saying this word. You'll be shocked that this word is censored when you hear it.
