HOW TO MAKE A BASIC SIGGY ( MERGING PICS)
A signature doesn't have special rules that you have to follow. I will just tut on merging the pics and add few effects.
Open a new document, File>New. You can choose any size and colour. I have taken 500*300 (which I feel is the best for a siggy) and black background. You can select transparent then fill it with colour of your choice.
Now open your pictures and cut out a section using Lasso Tool. Select and mask it,.
Then go to select and mask and the following settings (you can keep it according to your wish).
Repeat the action with all the images and drag the images inside the new document [ right click and drag the curser to move the images].
Use transform tool to arrange them according to your wish.
Now select the Eraser Tool(E) and on top Select brush from options drop arrow list. I took a SOFT ROUND BRUSH (you can reduce and increase the size according to your convenience) and have reduced OPACITY to 60%. Erase the excess and blend it.
It would look something like this.
Then select all the layers and group them (you can make changes to the images if needed later).
Now group the later and Ctrl+Alt+Shift+E to get a merged layer.
Now lets add some effects.
Go to Filter
Choose Anisotropic, click ok. Set the capacity according to your convenience, I have kept it 67%.
Since it’s a quick tutorial, I am using color look up for coloring.
create new fill/adjustment layer
From the 3DLUT File, I have selected the following, you can choose some other or use psd for better colorings.
After adding text:
I hope that was an easy one for beginners. Do drop your questions and keep creating!
