hey people, was wandering how you do cool signature thing e.g. players in front of certain backgrounds etc. What software or websites do you use?

Understand if this goes in a different thread, just know more people are on this one :razz:

You need to have a program called mspaint

























or Adobe photoshop

Im sure paint wont make a good sig though, and is Adobe Photoshop easy to use.....imagine me as a complete idiot with computer graphics programs (because I am)

Adobe Photoshop would be your weapon of choice. It's not freeware so aquiring a copy is your first challenge. Very simple to learn, very difficult to master - fantastic bit of software, some people make very good money manipulating images/making art with it.

Search google for tutorials on using it and you'll be settled in with it in no time.

Digimods is a great site if you want to see what sort of things can be done using Photoshop.

It is once you know what you're doing, but if you dont, then you dont have a hope in chance in creating anything worthy.

You can download some photoshop guides on torrent sites.

Ah yes I need to "walk" to the shops and buy a copy :roll:
