I normally use a soft round brush (prest PS brush) and lower the strength to about 15 - 25%

It's better than your others, however I still believe that their are too many renders in the sig. I've kept to the belief that there should only be 1 or to 2 renders in a sig max.
RE: General GFX Thread - Tyler Le - Aug. 16, 2011
I want to start GFXing. What program should I download (Window user)
And can you post a link?

(Aug. 16, 2011 11:23 AM)Tyler Le Wrote: I want to start GFXing. What program should I download (Window user)For a free program, I recommend GIMP;

http://www.gimp.org/downloads/
I find it does everything Photoshop does and is more user friendly than Photoshop, although Photoshop is considered widely as the more powerful program
RE: General GFX Thread - Synth - Aug. 16, 2011
Do you have money? Then buy photoshop.
If you want a free one, then use Gimp. Just type in google.
I'm still making a cool sig. Oh, and i might post here the entry for my school's mascot making contest. They will put your name on the mascot and it will be there FOREVER!! Talk about appreciations
RE: General GFX Thread - othellog - Aug. 16, 2011
I'm considering using photoshop again. As most people say it is superior. I just want to be able to make sigs like all photoshop users who I cannot compete with. I really want to switch, but its really hard to. Transitioning from the gimp makes it hard to know were everything is. I guess if I ever get a chance to do GFX professionally, I'll have to learn how to use phototshop anyways.
BTW, what do you guys suggest, photoshop CS4 or CS5?
RE: General GFX Thread - S.D.C - Aug. 16, 2011
I would go for the latest version, CS5. I'm still only running CS3 on a netbook with a tiny screen, so PS is useless. CS3 is just too hard to operate. I still use it for rendering images though, one thing GIMP doesn't have is the magic wand tool, so I use CS3 for that.
RE: General GFX Thread - NoodooSoup - Aug. 16, 2011
GIMP has the magic wand tool... o.O
RE: General GFX Thread - TanithElite - Aug. 16, 2011
Here is a sig I made today [Image: 2s8sllx.jpg]
RE: General GFX Thread - Medz - Aug. 16, 2011
It looks like two badly cut renders placed on top of a screenshot with a bit of awkwardly placed text.
RE: General GFX Thread - TanithElite - Aug. 16, 2011
Umm I forgot how to make a signature

You are right. This time, I tried making one with less pictures, like Kai-V said.
And I know that is not enough. I will try to make better ones. Feel free to critique or comment on my pictures. Thanks.
RE: General GFX Thread - Flaming Aries - Aug. 16, 2011
Your see through efffect you can see behind it and Fyuuor is right don't use more than one render 2 MAX
RE: General GFX Thread - Xyo - Aug. 16, 2011
GIMP has magic wand tool actually i use it for beyblades it has nice cuts (when you use a beyblade with a simple design like Rock leone) but i also use the free select tool (Pen tool)

I used to like it, but I've realized I can cut WAY better with the path tool.
RE: General GFX Thread - MakaCHOP! - Aug. 17, 2011
Hey guys! ToKao here!
I made this one! Tell me what you think!
[Image: 2568gp4.jpg]
I dont like it that much...but for you to understand the words you need to know who kiba is...
Also i nice person from deviantART let me use this for a userbar...
[Image: 10y1bif.gif] BUT, now im having trouble with this stupid animation thing...the background blinks with it...any tips (I use gimp)
RE: General GFX Thread - Flaming Aries - Aug. 17, 2011
A quick sig I made compliments?
[Image: CRESNIC.png]
RE: General GFX Thread - Sparta - Aug. 17, 2011
The background is a fracktal, correct?
Cutting looks good, but black on pink? Really?
RE: General GFX Thread - S.D.C - Aug. 17, 2011
Almost all my renders are made with the magic wand tool on PS, I did try the wand tool in GIMP but it wasn't quite as efficient.
Sparta, if you look at your render in your current sig, it has a white border around it due to poor cutting. or is that meant to be there?

A little on the brighter side...try scan lines...it might be helpful sometimes...

Kinda meant to be there, partly cruddy cutting.
As in, it was originally bad cutting, but once I saw how it came out I was just too lazy to change it, and decided it also kinda looked like a border.

Hey can I get an opinion on my stuff?

what are you talking about?
try to lower the brightness, and only use scanlines in a 50 scale
oh, xyo i think i found your "magic touch"(smudging!)
RE: General GFX Thread - Xyo - Aug. 17, 2011
Yup but the smudging in PS is much better more abstract and realistic and flaming aries the fractals are covering the text that is bad and try smudging i looks nice
