This is a tutorial I made for my friend. It is a full signature tutorial with a slanted 3D effect. Ok make a new document any size. Mine is 350x140. Fill the background with Black. Get some brushes and brush with white. Then make a new layer and brush with black. Repeat this process switching between Black and White. ![]() Grab a render. Im using this one. ![]() And place it into your sig. Resize it using CTRL + T. Once your happy with the size press CTRL + U and set the saturation level to -100. ![]() Ok now we need to add color. Make a color balance layer by going to Image > Adjustments > Color balance These are the settings I used but you can do different. Midtones - 45, 26, -62 Shadow - -30, 19, -62 Highlights - 0, 0, 0 Now render clouds. Filter > Render > Clouds and make another colorbalance layer. Midtones - 47, -39, 47 Shadow - 0, 0, 0 Highlights - 39, -43, 34 And redner clouds again and make a final colorbalance layer. Midtones - -29, -31, 20 Shadow - 0, 0, 0 Highlights - 0, 0, 0 And render clouds. ![]() Ok now add a border. Make a new layer and press CTRL + A and then goto Edit > Stroke > 3pxl > Black > ok Then Edit > Stroke > 2pxl > White > ok Then Edit > Stroke > 1xl > Black > ok Set that layer to Soft light Now add some text. Once your happy we can make the signature slanted. Click the top layer and press CTRL + SHIFT + E to merge all layers. Press CTRL + A to select the whole image and then copy it. Open a new document the same size but 20pxl wider and higher. Paste the signature into this document (transparent) Go to Edit > Transform > Distort Move the corners around untill you have a slanted look. Right click the layer and set these blending options. Drop shadow - Distance 8, Spread 31, Size 0. Now goto File > Save as Make sure it is saved as a .PNG file.
