kgbaseball Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 n00b sig...LOL Please criticize so I can make it better! Thanks! EDIT- And one more thing, how can I add a border? Thanks a lot everyone! And I noticed the last name, it will be fixed! Don't you think the Jacobs on the back of the jersey would lead you to believe that it's Brandon Jacobs, not Brandon Jackson (the RB for the Packers)? Not bad for a beginner. Keep working at it.

Dan Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 This is what I do to add a border: - Create a new layer and select the rectangle marquee tool. - At the top, chose fixed size for style and choose your width and height to be 2 px smaller than your image size. - press ctrl+shift+i to invert your selection. - press ctrl and the plus character (+) to zoom into your pic, I usually go upto about 1200x. - Now choose your paint bucket tool and select a color of your choosing and paint the selected area. - press ctrl+D to deselect your selection. Are you freaking kidding me?! :yernuts: New layer on top, Cmd/Ctrl+A (select all), Edit>Stroke, 1px black. Done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redsox Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 Are you freaking kidding me?! :yernuts: New layer on top, Cmd/Ctrl+A (select all), Edit>Stroke, 1px black. Done. I know it sounds grueling, but this method only takes about 10 seconds for me to do. Also, this provides me with a multi-color border though its always good to learn new and quicker methods. Will surely gives yours a try. Never did know about the method that you had mentioned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This method is the equivalent of CTRL+ALT+DEL for Windows lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 Two things that bug me about Photoshop that still haven't been fixed after numerous e-mails to Adobe: Outer Strokes end up rounded no matter how square your square is Circles, both with the shape tool and the circular marquee tool, aren't perfectly circle. They look it, but try resizing them. Ain't so hot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redsox Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 Jessica Alba. Dan, thanks for the tip on the stroke. That is so much quicker. Never knew of that method. Thanks. Edit: Also, was wondering if you guys are seeing any improvements in my sigs and suggestions to utilize other techniques are more than welcome. Thanks.

abc006 Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 Just did this for fun, I just basically took a whole bunch of brushes, randomly put them on there with a star burst, added some effects, viola. http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i25/cloz...acttechwall.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not bad for a beginner. Keep working at it. LOL, yeah, I fixed it. I was playing Madden '08 with the Packers before so I had Brandon Jackson in my head the whole time. I may make him or AJ Hawk next. Thanks, this 1 is still definetly a WIP, so I'll have more updates on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronmexico Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 Dan, if you wouldn't mind making another Apple sig then that would be best. If you don't want to then I will take yours. Thanks either way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KidCavalier23 Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 Okay, so I've fixed the name, added a border and added a NY Giants' logo to the background behind the stripes. It's looking a little better. Font will be the next thing fixed! And, redsox, the color balance suggestion you posted a couple posts earlier, I can't seem to find it. I am using Photoshop Elements 5.0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know under what tab you will be able to find it. I have Photoshop CS2 and for me the "color balance" option is under layer->new adjustment layer->color balance. Maybe that option was not included in Photoshop Elements 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I put enough money together I'll get CS2. I've added a couple of things to it, and I think it looks a lot better. The uniform in the back looks a lot better now in my opinion.
