SereneSilent Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 While going through forums I was looking at everyone's signatures and noticed some people had custom made ones. To all those people who have customized their, I will say that it has inspired me to create one. So my question is: What programs do you use and recommendations for a beginner?

xZoneHunter Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 There is photoshop cs6 which isn't free (unless you're a pirate) or you could use gimp which, i'm pretty sure is free. I personally use photoshop cs6 since i followed a class on it. As for making a sig there are a shit ton of tutorials on youtube and you can check this thread out. It has some very useful info/guides.

thegirlruka Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 (edited) Depending on where you live in the US (I'm guessing you live in the us because of your psn location), your local library might have a subscription to Lynda. If they do, they have tons of tutorials on the different editing software like photoshop. That's pretty much how I learned the basics.

Yami Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 I'm still using the old Photoshop CS5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aela Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 (edited) I will say that it has inspired me to create one. Likewise. I'm always seeing those amazing signatures by people such as Floriiss, Alexi-Sama, Ramonachan and DEMON (just to name a few). I was curious and so started following a bunch of GIMP tutorials this morning and this was the end result Apart from the remaining white pixels surrounding Nightmare, I was pretty happy with my basic first attempt Edited October 26, 2015 by Aela Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atlasxof- Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Did you render it yourself? That must've taken some work Pretty much he did. I told him to use a PNG image, which could more easy for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aela Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Did you render it yourself? That must've taken some work I just used the fuzzy select tool I could have then went around with the eraser... but, yeah. I just wanted to see how things would turn out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the little white spots were energy particles or something that were supposed to be there. ------------------------- OT to avoid potential spam. @OP Gimp seems fairly simple to use honestly. I downloaded it and tried it out but even using tutorials I just never got the hang of it. I suppose I don't have as much patience for it as I do with other things.

I just wanted to see how things would turn out If it was on a white background you could have used the magic wand tool, although it doesn't always work they way you want it too. But when it does work the render looks perfect and it's very fast too. At least that's how i do it To get pinpoint precision you could've used the pen tool but it takes so freaking long!

It did have a white background, and the fuzzy select tool is the GIMP version of the magic wand Yes. I mentioned I could have then went around the image, getting rid of the white pixels with the eraser... which would take a while 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Masamune Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 I started out with Gimp (of which I'm still using ), it's pretty easy to get the hang of, I found it easier than Photoshop anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, I enjoy the praise. As for making a sig there are a shit ton of tutorials on youtube and you can check this thread out. It has some very useful info/guides. I think I'll do something productive and update that thread a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEMON Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 There's GIMP and there is a free version of Photoshop on Adobe's website, CS2, but it kind of requires you to have a license of it before hand, so download at your own risk, I know plenty have downloaded it though and haven't really recieved any warnings from Adobe or whatever. I started with 7, it's super outdated now though. Used CS3, and now I'm using CS5. I have used GIMP for a while, but it's a bit harder to understand than PS and you will really need to modify it to get it working good, so it's probably not as good as Photoshop for beginners, I found it required a bit of background with image editors to understand and it does not have as many resources either as PS does. But if you just want something for free, to test out signature making, GIMP is probably your best bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
