my blends

Basic blends to start off with.

1st - went wrong, but not bad overall.

I know theyre not brilliant, but m only really a beginner at this😄
more to come..

They could be a lot smaller and still work fine.

What program are you using?

Yep, they definitely need to be smaller. However they arent for use on my sig on here😛

photoshop.

Nice for your 1st tries.I like the texts,mine always comes out blurry.Also,500x150 would be better,i think.

It came out blurry on the actual program.
Thanks melane, without your help i wouldnt be on my way to making blends well.

Yeah, so there's these new tools called the lasso and pen tools.

What he's saying is "Be more careful cutting out renders and blend if possible". PS can make it look lots nicer, and there's some jagged edges on your current ones. Tutorials help too.

cutting out renders..sorry im unsure on what you mean.
I dont use lasso tool but yes that makes better edges.

You can see where the edges have been covered. I like this one best😄 Im finding it hard to remove those jagged egdes.

He mean that you have to be careful when cuttng out the original pic.
And nice.

Magnetic lasso tool can help sometimes. I use Gimp for cutting renders, but I think there's a Paths tool in PS as well that gives you more control.

OO yes thats where i went wrong at the beginning on the first one. The middle pic had mistakes.Jagged edged arent as noticable in the smaller sized version.

Okay for your first tries, but Dakota Fanning scares me.

Try actually...you know...blending them. Instead of simply cutting out a couple pictures and putting them on a blank background.

I cut them then blend, i sometimes wander how to use the spaces up though. I also find it hard to find a decent background LOL!
I have picked the blending up more, but i still find the other a problem.

this was a starter.

Another.

what program are you using, and just reducint opacity isnt blending, smudging the edges, and stuff like that overlapping slightly so that your pictures goes into/flows into the backround

Yes. However how do i do that?
How can i make brilliant sigs if im beginning? these arent rubbish. Yes more effect on the edges is what you mean right?

Use less pictures because using too many is redundant. Solid color backgrounds aren't too good of an idea for people, go for something more detailed.
