I can't honestly see any difference between the two, any difference is negligable.

You have to look close at the white surrounding the text. The glow is straight wisps in one sig and its wavy smokelike in the other.
<aazumak> - I'm cool with that, I just want honest opinions from experienced artists. Kinda curious what all of you think about it as I am unsure myself.
witam - yes, on every sig the text is added last on a new layer. I make the text in a seperate layer and then move it over. The problem is that you have to make it seperately or the whole sig would distort, and the new document has to be perfectly square or the dimensions are messed up. Also the bg of the new layer of text has to be black so the effects are visible. Then when you transfer the text over to the sig, you have to change the blending mode to lighten to hide all the black so you can still see the sig image but also the text effects.
I don't know how doing it twice with a copied layer would help, I'm not saying it wouldn't, I just don't understand how. I mean in sigs with light bg's the effects are barely visible anyway, so duplicating it I don't think would increase the visibility of the effects that much. On a dark bg you might be able to see more windflare though, since it's very clear on the darker backgrounds.
I dunno, but if you can describe how to do what you are saying, I can try it out. * Steps that need to be taken are very helpful. |
