Do you own a copy of photoshop? If you do, you can run it wine, although not the latest versions i think. Someone with photoshop could tell you that. If you don't own photoshop, no-one is going to tell you where to download it from as it is illegal.

If you don't own photoshop but would still like to make those sig's then use GIMP, it can do almost as much as photoshop can do and it's free. If you want some tutorials on making sigs with gimp then i suggest this site: http://www.gimptalk.com/forum/forum/GIMP-Tutorials-and-Tips-8-1.html

If i have misunderstood you then i apologise, it's hard to work out what you want with how you wrote your post.

That's way too open ended. It depends on what you want your sig to look like. Making it look 'good' comes down to graphic design, and that's separate to what program you're using.

As for a brief 'how do I make a sig' you get (or create) any image, and upload it somewhere like photobucket, and then put the URL of the file between and under Edit Signature under User CP.

Unless English isn't your first language, I'd be more concerned with learning to post coherently than how to make a sig.

well can you show me how to make a sig in gimp

[Paul820]

The link i posted has hundreds of step by step tutorials on making sigs. Have you looked at the site? The only way you are going to learn how to make them is by looking at one or two of the tutorials to get the basic idea on what to do and then practice doing some yourself. Nobody will teach you how to make one when there are literally thousands of tutorials out there only a google click away.

o ok
i got you so i went to the link when you first gave it but then i did not understand so what i did not know is that to click on um so by clicking on um they will teach you
how to make a sig right
so i will try an you can do it from gimp right

an do you have to pay ??

[Paul820]

What don't you understand? You only have to follow along with the tutorials. I take it you are using ubuntu, if so gimp is installed by default when you install ubuntu. It is also available on windows and mac and it does not cost a penny. It's a free open source project available to anyone who wants to use it. Gimp is capable of doing sigs, and much, much more. It is a very powerful program, although not as powerful as photoshop, but some great artwork can be produced with it. Have a go with it, get used to where things are and make some artwork :)

Good luck! :)

Yes, you have to pay for photoshop, it's a very expensive piece of software. Too expensive if you ask me. So have you tried out gimp yet?

yea i did but when i tryed to save my sig i have this waring from gimp for some reason
Saving '/home/gundumfx/Desktop/My Music/gimp/Untitled' failed:

Unknown file type

so what do i do

[Paul820]

What filetype are you saving as? Gimps default file format is xcf which preserves all layer information etc, but you can save in many formats. I usually save as png, it's a lossless format and allows transparency. Try .png after the filename.

That is a gimp tutorial, so it should work whether you are using ubuntu or a mac. What parts were you having trouble with?

And can you please use punctuation next time? I was out of breath just reading it!

I think it was done with the GIMP. I made my own avatar with the GIMP. :)

[Paul820]

I made you one, i have uploaded the xcf file so all you have to do is open it with gimp and play around with it. I did not know what image to put on it so i just stuck the ubuntu logo in there. You can just delete those layers and put your own image in. Just play around with the colours and different blending modes and see what you come up with. Get yourself some free gimp brushes off the internet and a start making some patterns and mess with the filters.

Have a go, it's really not that hard. Good luck :)

i did not know what to do in these parts that i pasted from this link

http://www.gimptalk.com/forum/topic/Full-Signature-Tutorial-5880-1.html

AN IF YOU CAN GIVE ME SCREEN SHOTS OF YOU DOING IT SO I CAN SEE WHAT YOU CLICK AN USE THANKS AN NOW READ

dude my problems that i did not under stand is this
#1-
Now select a grunge brush (I used the AbstractChaos brush set).

Note: If you need to find brushes for Gimp, boot up Google, type in "Deviant Art Gimp Brushes" then click on the first link. To install those brushes, follow this guide:

http://forums.nintendo.com/nintendo/board/message?board.id=techsupport&message.id=412824&query.id=0#M412824

Brush on your sig using different brushes until most of it is covered. It may resemble the below image, now:

#2-Now click on the black rectangle in the center of the tool menu. Double click on it and select the colour white. Now pick out a soft brush, and start brushing on top of your grunge brushed background. I used the Leiyla brush sets for this.

Now don't go overboard when you're doing this. In the end you still want to be able to make out at least some of the black background you started with. Here is what I came up with after a few brushes:

#3-The next thing that you should do is this:

In your layer window you should be working on your "Background layer". Right click (Ctrl + Click for Mac's) on that layer, and select "Duplicate layer".

Your layer window should now look like this:

#4-The next thing that you should do is this:

In your layer window you should be working on your "Background layer". Right click (Ctrl + Click for Mac's) on that layer, and select "Duplicate layer".

Your layer window should now look like this:

Now select that duplicated layer, and go to Filters->Blur->Gaussian Blur.

Put in these settings:

Blur radius:

Horizontal: 13
Vertical: 13

Blur Method: IIR

Now hit OK.

Your signature should now look extremely blurry. Now under the layers window, and under "Mode:" click, and scroll down until you come across Multiply.

Note: Overlay, Burn, Hard light, Soft light and Grain Merge can also work well.

What this does is that it brings out the light or dark colours of the signature (depending on which blend mode you use).

Here is what I came up with:



Now right click on your duplicated layer and select "Merge Down".

Now comes the background colouring part:

Now before deciding on a colour, its often a good idea to figure out what render you're planning on using. If you're render matches the background it can make the signature as a whole look nicer and stand out.

Since I'm planning on using a render of Koops (which is yellow and blue), I'll make the background a light blue-turquoise colour to match him.

Now if you have decided on your colour, lets continue on...

With your background layer selected go to Tools->Color Tools->Colorize. Play around with the scroll bars "hue", "saturation" and "lightness" until you're content.

Since I'm making a light blue background I used the following:

Hue: 192
Saturation: 84
Lightness: 12

The result is this:



Step 2: Inserting and touching up your render

Now its time to insert the render.

As I mentioned earlier, I'm using a Koops Render:



Now, as I've used in my past tutorials, I'll be using the Magic Wand tool. I'm not going into great detail, so if you're stuck, please PM me or read my other simpler tutorials.

Take the magic wand tool, click on the background, now go to Select->Invert.

Now cut the render out.

Now, switch back to your signature. Go to Layer->New Layer, and then paste your render into it. If the render is too big or facing the wrong way you can correct this by going to Layer->"Scale Layer" and Layer->Transform->"Flip Horizontally".

Now once you have it where you want it, anchor the layer by clicking outside of the signature.

This is what I came up with:



Note: Now be warned, from this point onwards this tutorial will become increasingly difficult. You have been warned. >=D

Now make a new layer, then paste the Koops render again, and again, again until Koops's fill the entire screen. Everything must be covered. This may seem silly, but you'll see soon enough its purpose.

Your layers window should look like this:



Now with that layer selected (Lots o' koops one) go to Filters->Blur->Gaussian Blur. Set this at anything above 18 horiz. and vert, hit OK.

Now under "Mode" in the layer window select "Overlay". Now take your original Koops layer and move it up above the Blurred-Overlayed-Koops layer.

Your image should look something like this:



Now select your original Koops layer, duplicate it, now go to Filters->Blur->Gaussian Blur. Set both axis as 18 or so.

Now set that duplicated layer as "Overlay". What this does is emphasizes or brightens certain colours. Its a useful tool for creating a warmer feel to a render.

Again, other blending styles can create different results. Experiment with them!

Step 3: Adding text and text effects

Now for the text:

Pick out a font that you want for the main text of the signature:

I picked the font "JellyBelly". Select white as a colour, then type out your screen name. Now center the text onto your sig, then anchor it.

Now go to layers->Transparency->Alpha to Selection. Now make a new layer, and move it BELOW the text layer.

Now make sure that your default colour is black, then got to Edit->"Stroke Selection". Under "Stroke Line" select "3", then hit OK.

Now unselect everything, then select the text layer and merge it down onto the stroked text layer.

It should now look like this:



Now duplicate your text layer, put a Gaussian Blur of 8 (or less) on the layer, then and set the duplicated, top layer to "Darken Only". Now merge down that layer over top of your text layer.

Now go to Colorize, and input the settings that you originally set for the background (or something similar).

Hit OK.

Your sig should now look like this:



Now that this is finished, its time to work on the sub text (if you want it).

Now select the text tool, and pick a font. For best results use a pixelated or bitmap font.

I used the font "Acknowledge TT (BRK)" under size "14".

Now go to Layer->Transparency->Add alpha to Selection, make a new layer below, edit->Stroke Selection, but put the stroke line size to 2.7.

Now, merge down the text layer onto the stroked layer, position the text, and it should look like this:

Now you can leave the sub text as is, if you'd like, but if you want to try a different effect select the blending mode "Value" while selecting the sub text layer.

Step 4: Finishing up and adding a border

Now finally the border.

Simply put a border of ANY kind makes any signature look better. If you have a chance to do so, DO SO. :D

Here are two ways of making borders:

# 1:

Make a new layer, place the layer above both of the renders. Now go to Select->All, then go to Edit->Stroke Selection. Make sure black is the default colour, make the stroke line "2", then hit OK.

# 2:

Make a new layer, place the layer above both of the renders. Now go to Select->All, then go to Edit->Stroke Selection. Now with black as the current colour go to stroke size 10, then switch to white, stroke size 8, now switch back to black and select 5 or 6. Now using that layer set it to Overlay.

Examples of borders on this sig:

With #1 Border:



With # 2 Border:



With no border:



See what the difference a border can make? :D

And THAT! Sums of my tutorial!

I hope you liked it, and happy gimping to you all! ^_^

gundumfx, what i would suggest you do is get used to the interface first. It looks like you are having trouble finding where everything is. So here is a link to the gimp manual that you can read online: http://docs.gimp.org/en/
Alternatively, you can get grokking-the-gimp from the repositories, open up synaptic package manager and search for grokking-the-gimp. Read a few tutorials and then have another go at doing the sig. :)

gumdumfx, why do you want cedega? Is it to play games? If it is then why don't you install wine, it runs plenty of games that are for windows and it's free. It's not worth the trouble downloading illegal software when there are perfectly good replacements that are free and open source. If them options are no good for you then i'm afraid you need to put your hand in your pocket and pay for them. Like i said before, no-one on these forums are going to help you download illegal software, so stop asking.

Open the terminal and type these commands:

cd /usr/share/doc/
sudo mv grokking-the-gimp ~/Desktop

That will move the folder to your desktop instead of in the ridiculous place it puts it. When you move the folder to your desktop, open the folder and find the index.html file and double click that to read the book. I don't know if anyone has made a pdf file out of it or intends to make one. For now it will have to be done like this. :(

well i went to html folder an saw a bunch of pics

well i went to html folder an saw a bunch of pics

The book was formatted as an HTML book...you know, with lots of step by step instructions and purty pictures.

I have to say, there has to be either a language barrier, or a misunderstanding here somewhere.

Photoshop you have to pay for.

Cedega you have to pay for.

Cedega doesn't really have anything to do with Photoshop, since it is designed to run Windows games.

Yes, you can get both without paying for it, but that is wrong, and noone here is going to give you a link to get them.

Now, if you have a valid license, you can run Photoshop in WINE, or in Crossover Office, but not the latest version, and not everything works as it should.

GIMP is plenty ready for most day to day graphics stuff...like making a signature.
