The Legends are Back PSYCHO!

Ok this is my first tutorial so go easy on me :*laugh*:. This is a simple borader tutorial.

Start a new sig. First you got ur backround(bg) and all the colour choices and the brushing done. I did this one really quick.

Now you would usually put a render(picture or character) or if you just want to leave it the way it is. I'm not going to put a render in this one because I'm running a little short on time. You leave ur text for last so it's time for the boarder. Start a new layer(Shift+Control+N) then take ur Rectangle Marquee Tool in the top right of ur tool bar and scroll over the whole sig and right click on it and a wwindow should come up and a title called "Stoke" will be there, if not then go to edit then stroke. I like to 2 of them but you can do 3 if u want to. Where it says width put 3 px(px means pixel and colour black and push ok. Then go to stroke again and put 2 px as the width and colour as white and push ok. Thats all that i do but also u can put another one with th width as 1 px and the colour as black again the push ok. all of this is in the same layer it shoul look something like this. Or there will be any black stokre in there if u did 3 strokes. I did 2.

After that you go to ur layer box and where it says normal and change it to overlay or softlight or any of them but i think softlight and overlay look the best, but it's up to u. It should look like this and this is on overlay.

There you go it's my first tutorial but I should of done print screen to show u all the buttons and everything but I'll do it on my next tutorial and promise there will be one. Also instead of using black white and black for the storkes u could use the colours of ur sigs and that will make it look better.
