I'm just curious as to your opinions on this, because in the tut I have for this effect it says to Filter > Distort > Ripple at one point and I'm wondering if that looks better than without the ripple.

So look close at these two sigs and tell me what you like better:

Straight wind in the white glow

or ripple in the white glow

Ok I hear what you are saying. However I'm actually more concerned with which text effect looks better with the template. Because like that image inside the template, it clashes with the template itself. Therefore in this case it might clash with the text as well. While on other sigs the image and template could match or the image and text effect could match but the third element might not.

Basically it has to be one or other, so if it had to be one of the two, based upon the template and text effect, but regardless of the image in the middle. Which do you suggest?

I agree with witham...

It's a matter of your personal choice.
What you want. It's your sig

Actually while they are my creation, I'm not going to keep them for myself. I think I'm going to let someone else use this sig set.

Nonetheless I'm basically asking if there was a choice between the two, which would it be.

There is no client, as I'm not making this for anyone specific. I might let someone else use the set, I might not.

Don't know and it's irrelevant.

Simple poll question, if there was a choice you had to make between the two, what would it be?

not too hard here...I think Confused

If i had to choose, the second one.. it has more similarities with the red beast (or however you want to call it) but i would make it smaller, not go so far over the inside of the sig..

Thank you for your comment and a decision between the two.

What you pointed out is actually the oddest thing about this. I have very lil control over that. Aside from going Image > Adjustments > Brightness/Contrast and lowering them both to thin it. It's just on certain images the darker ones mainly, it appears more visible and you can see all the wind and distortion fibers, and on the light colored ones...you barely see them at all. It makes it rather inconsistent and it annoys me.

If anyone here has an alternative solution AFTER voting on one of the two previous options, I'd love to hear it.
