Lana thanks for the link. But it just shows you what programs you can use doesnt it?

Is there a way with Photoshop to make an image transparent? What i mean is to make it so you can see the image behind it through the image over top of it?

if so how?

For such simple questions, use the "Help" function in Photoshop.

Okay this might be a harder one, I have a pick with a white background but when I copy it onto the backgorund for the sig the white it still there, how do I copy just the picture in the image and not its white background?

Select the area you want to copy and do so...

really, with respect, you should try to figure something out yourself first.

You dont get what I mean, say you wanted to copy one of the soldiers in your sig to another one but not the stuf around him and not the background just the image of the soldier.

How woudl you do that?

Hi, I was wondering how I could improve this sig I made? I'm trying to go for an ominus and scary vibe.

One of the biggest issues is the render (the girl) she is blurry and distorted which give the image a messy look. The other thing is that it is not a clean render and the pixilation around her and with the glowing border brings this out even more.

I get what you mean, I purposely distorted it abit cause Eclipso is a spirit of darkness and she kindoff looks that way in the comics.

But thank you for the tips, I'll try to clean it up.

A better way to get that that effect is to keep the detail but to fade her into the background.

That's a very good point. I never tought of that. Thank you.

No prob and have fun 😉

umm how do you use a font that you have downloaded off the internet?

You have to add it to your Fonts folder in the WINDOWS folder I believe. Some of them are self-extracting to the folder.

does anyone that has paint shop pro know how to get rid of white pixels???

i dont have paint shop pro but llike i said bfore almost all photo programs have a lasso tool, or something to that extent, which allows u to select parts of the pic to remove, use that, or an eraser tool

I got Photoshop 7 yesterday, so be ready for some n00bish questions on my part 😛
How exactly do I smudge? I have my brush like this, but how do I smudge the image? Whenever I try to pull it away it just blurs. Help, please?

Try selecting scatter. If thats what you mean.

No, that's not what I mean...😕 What tool do I use to smudge, exactly?

The tool is called “Smudge”, it’s the finger looking icon.
