Okay so I saw so many of these around so I thought why not make one for siggies.
Enjoy!
1.You want to open a new Image. So go to File and click New. Then you should see this. I would say have it as 800 as the width and 600 as the height just so you have enough room to work with.
2.Now you will have a transperent (it shows the checkers) image. So now go to File and Open up your pictures.
3.Now you have them open you can start to work with them. If one of the pictures you see on the right side that says Materials and it looks like this with blocks:
and not this with colors:
Then go to the layers and click on the the button that looks like this:
Click Ok on the box that pops up then click Ok on the next box that pops up. Now you should have another layer above your background layer.
Now right click on Background. Then click on Merge ----> Merge All (Flatten). Now it should just have Background as the layer and the colors should be all there.
4. Now click on one of your pictures Bakcground layer and drag it over to your transparent picture. Do the same for both until it looks like this:
5.Now go to the tool that looks like this. Now your picture should look like this. Now you can deform it and make it smaller to fit into your siggie.To make the other picture smaller go to layers and click the layer it is in. You can see shich one its in because if you go over top of it you can see the picture show up:
6. Now that you have them sized down you can crop the picture to make it the size you want your siggie to be.Click on the button as seen here:
Now drag it across your picture and then when you've got it the right size click the check mark as seen here:
7. Now that its sized down you can use your paint brush:
I suggest you use all things I have used at the top of the screen. Now click your picture that is on top's layer. Now click the mask icon that looks like this:
Now I suggest you use black (which is the most transparent) but you can play around with it.Anyway now you can use your paint brush to go over the places you want the otehr picture to show through like so:
8. Your almost done! Now you just need to put text on (optional*).Save your picture as a jpg I suggest and then open it up again. It should look like this:
9. Okay so you can now click on the text button which is on the left. Its an A button.Now once you've clicked on it you can click anywhere on your picture you want the text to be.
10. Now you can move it around and play with it, maybe make more text. Now to resize it go to Image ---> Resize. I suggest you use percent instead of pixels. Now with 100 being it takes off just a little bit and 10 being the most play around until you get it the size you want.I'm going to use 50:
11. Ta da! Your done! Now just save it and upload it on either ImageShack or Photobucket then put the code in your siggie. I hope this helped everyone and good luck!If you have questions ask them here or PM and I would love to see what you've made so post them here!:
