lol infact it's no more than a month and i dont know practically anything about sigs , i just do without knowing what i should have or not , yea i definitley should try tutorials , will make sure my next one is good and can be called a sig at least

i must have screw up the text surely , so what do you think ?? am im geting worse ??

isnt it all scam ? i used t get mail in the name of my friends saying to do something to get free ipoads but i never even bother to read the mails , if you get free ipods wouldnt everybody be having one now ?

i have noticed that several people have either misquoted or havent got neccessary information correctly when they have posted here , if we post on sensitive topics as this one we should be well informed so not as to create controversies .

thanks saint michael ...... i sure will follow your advice , it has been a great help

i thought i will create some sigs so here is what i came up with tonight , well i like the one above maybe because i like those albino characters in the film too so tell me what sig you will give higher rating

i dont agree that it is just muslims who are ignorant and i personally feel that some people may feel that this post is somewhat racist ,the point is if the owner had been a christian you surely would not give him some christians can be so ignorant title , because he happened to be a muslim you are refering to him by his religion ,if a jew kills a jew or a christian kills a jew it is called murder but if a muslim kills a jew it is called terrorism, will i dont wish to talk about religons here but i believe that some people need to understand that it is not only them who are ignorant but it is because of our policies that we have to face the countless problems which we see everyday ,i can understand the anger within the whole muslim world as a result of a array of things starting with the crusades and ongoing till today ,imagine if this world had no muslims i am sure it would be christians and jews who would fighting neck to neck instead of buddists or hindus or any other for that matter , no problem arises without root cause

hay i though i'll make da vinci code ... i guess i could have done better though , just let me know what i can do to improve my skills

Here i am going to show you how to create realistic rain effect using photoshop CS, this tutorial is suitable for immeadiate beginners too, now the first thing you need is to get a good source image , i used this house which is shown at a kool angle and a dog lookin out of the window supposedly because it is raining dublicate the layer ( press Ctrl+J ) or just drag the layer to the create new layer button at the bottom of layers tool box , now go to Image > Image Adjustments > Levels and make your settings as shown in the image below ... even tough the image we have is already dark ,that would have given the image the necessary dark appearance as you would have on a rainy day .. the next step is to create rain create a new layer (Shift+CTRL+N) with a white background and name it rain for easy reference later now go to Filter > Noise > Add Noise and make your settings as shown in the image below .... now go to Filter > Blur > Motion Blur and make your settings as shown in the image below .... now go to Image > Image Adjustments > Levels and make your settings as shown .... go to layers pallet and change your blending mode to screen well we got it raining already but i just want it to rain more heavily so make another copy of the rain layer, set the blending mode to screen on this layer too and go to Edit > Transform > Rotate 180 degrees clockwise and reduce the opacity of the layer to around 82, now with the topmost layer selected press Crl+E to merge the two top layers now it rains but we dont have any wind , so our rain is not realistic yet , now go to Filter > Distort > Twirl and make the settings as shown below .... and here is my final image , it rains doesnt it ??

well you see i uploaded the script and when i run it says clearly that zend optimizer is not installed and that the file is encoded by the zend encoder and in order to run it, please install the freely available Zend Optimizer, version 2.1.0 or later.so i am confused , you guys are saying it is installed , i wonder what is wrong ? any help i would appreciate

i uploaded some php files to my site today but cant run them , it says i need to upload some other files to my root directory and run it first , so i need to know whether zend optimzer is installed in the server

First of all open a new document with white background and size 355 / 105 import your render to a new layer , name the layer original and hide the layer create a new copy of the original layer here's the render i choosed ..... go to Image > Adjustments > Hue saturation choose colorize and drag the hue slider to 121 create another copy of the orignal layer go to Filter > Blur > Radial blur set amount to 10 , blur method to spin and quality to good now set the blending mode of the layer to vivid light go to Image > Adjustments > Hue saturation choose colorize and drag the hue slider to 80 and you should have something like this ... create one more copy of the original layer set the layer blending mode to hue go to Image > Adjustments > Hue saturation choose colorize and drag the hue slider to 95 now import your game render right under the top layer and you should have this .... select the second copy we made ( the one given blur effect ) go to Filter > Distort > Polar coordinates select polar to rectangular repeat this by pressing Ctrl+F do it several times until you are happy with the outcome here's what i got now we need to do the text part type your name in black ,i choose Dredwerkz as my font nothing great but not bad while holding Ctrl click on the text layer to get a selction , now create a new layer go to Select > Modify > Expand and set expand by to 3 pixels now create a new layer fill the selction with dark green go to Filter > Brush strokes > Angled brush and choose settings to film grain go to Filter > Blur > Gaussian blur , with settings to 1.4 now move the text layer to the top and tahts it you are done !! here is my final ... please note that this is my very go at trying my hand on a sig tutorial or even do a signature so this one may be not so good but you sig gurus out there , please let me know how you think of my first work ,i would appreciate any comments Notice from saint-michael: adjusted topic to fit post.

this is my very first tutorial for Xisto forums and i am putting up a very simple but nice tutorial on how to make bloody text using photoshop. open a new document with a white background and mode set to grayscale , now type whatever words you want using a thick font , i used arial black with the font layer selected while holding Ctrl press Enter to make a selction around the font go to Layer > Flatten image, after the image is flattened go to Select > Inverse the next step is to crystallize the text go to filter > Pixelate > Crystallize ( set the cell size to 5 ) again go to Select > Inverse now we need to add some noise to the text so go to Filter > Noise > add noise (select gaussian , monochromatic and set amount to around 70 ) now you should have something like this now for some blur , go to Filter > Blur > Gaussian blur (radius 2) well almost done .. press Ctrl+D to deselect the selection go to Image > Adjust > Invert now go to Image > Rotate canvas and select 90 CW go to Filter > Stylize > Wind set wind direction from left to right now we need to rotate the canvas, go to Image > Rotate canvas and select 90 CCW go to Image > Mode > RGB to adjust the hue saturation, go to Image > Adjust > Hue saturation click colorize set the saturation to 100 and lightness to -5 and that is it you are done !

i was happy when 2 weeks ago i opened my hotmail inbox and saw a mail from microsoft saying that i am invited as an official user to test windows live mail , which is going to be the new hotmail, so i happily clicked the given link and it said that i can expect to have live mail within two weeks when i sign into hotmail ,so it happened yesterday , when i signed into hotmail it was live mail and i really liked the new look and features but my happiness was short lived ,when i went to check my mail today i can sign in but the page is showing two adds and stops loading after that , i tried many times ,used different computers , different browsers but all it says is that its processing the request , you can imagine how i would feel, there is an option to change from beta to normal hotmail but it also is inside the page so i went to ideas.live in order to remove beta option , so i clicked leave this beta button and went back to hotmail and tried to sign in but without any succes as yet , i have absolutely no idea what to do now, wrote a mail to customer support about it but i dont know when i can get my mail back working properly

well when today i signed into msn 8 beta messenger it showed a message saying that a newer version is available and that you should install it in order to continue , but lol that was the second time i have seen that message and last time i thought was going to be the final beta interface ,so i had to download and i must say it looks very nice and neat now, the icons are also 3d glowing green and blue, it is very fast to sign in also now compared to previous ones and i dont find any annoying bugs anymore too , sure it is nice now but i am now wondering whether microsoft will be happy with this interface or they are going to annoy people who are using this beta to having to download a newer version every now and then

well i vistied your site and found out few things which i thought might have looked good about the layout design ,first the font on your menu is not at all nice because of the heavy influence caused by the overhead banner , so i got a print screen of your site on my ps and i found that #440C00 goes very well ,umm just telling what i think ,if i were you i may as well remove all green clored font because it does not balance with the rest of the site, second you could try arranging your content into two columns as it is not so eyecatching as people tend to just take a look at the layout and go without even reading your rich content and also the site is seriously lacking images which has to be put in order to counter the overwhelming effect of your head banner ,here you can use images that resemble the colors you have in the banner , the name of your site is not immeadiately readable as it should be since it is the link to the home page once you are in another page ,the first f is almost invisble , so here you can use some other bold font with different colors , also try not highlighting too much where to click ,people dont like it when they are asked to do things ,they have to do it on their own wish ,so you can use a little dark grey instead of green, also i have seen some pages are under construction ,but of course im sure you are going to finish them soon ,so anyway this is what i think will make your site really nice looking and great , you have got a nice banner and you can take it as a advantage to fashion out the whole layout to best produce a neat looking great site wish you good luck with your site , if you feel like asking me anything you are most welcome and i would love to give whatever help i can provide

i am having phpnuke in my site and one very important thing i need to have in my site is a user's page where his profile and all his friends profiles will be appearing and he can add , delete or accept friends , i know php basics only so if i try to write the script myself ( i mean i think i can do if i try ,like i have enabled images to be uploaded in sig for my phbb forum which by default as you will be knowing only has text to be dispalyed as sig , and took me whole three days to complete it , i also searched the net and downloaded some mods but none of them seemed to work ) but it's gonna cost me a lot of time and effort ,which i hardly have , so iwas wondering if any of you guys know where i can get such a script or files or at least something which is close enough to what i want , i would appreciate any help from you

thank you guys ,it seems to have worked

i am sure you all might have an idea about how much and how many websites are dedicated to this subject ,also sites offering you top listing for certain pay , but basically i dont believe we have to pay anybody to hike our sites in major search engines like google ,yahoo and msn ,if we are aware of how search engines work then we ourselves can do it so no big deal , i have the feeling that most people think if you use lots of keywords and meta tags you can get a good ranking ,but it's not so ,just think about those people who spam ,they will put keywords which even have no relevance whatsoever with the sites contents ,so major search engines whether handled by humans like yahoo or indexed by robots like google will look through the sites content to see if they have any relevence to the keywords ,some spammers have gone as far as putting long text in the bottom of the page in the same color as the background to counter this ,but now engines ignore text that has the same color as the background , so basically for what ever keywords you put you should dedicate enough content for it, the title of the page is also very important so the title should be as much descriptive of the site as it can be ,crawlers look for links ,so you should put links to other sites which can be classed into the same category as yours and of course the only thing which really skyrockets your listing is the number of hits you get so if your site is good enough for other people than you will have no problem in getting a good ranking in any search engine listing .

i am having a problem with my cpanel , sometimes when i move from one directory to another a message window will open and it says that this site contains both secure and non secure information and whether i wish to continue , whether i choose yes or no or even close the window some part og the page i wish to see will not be dispalyed ,it gets so annoying sometimes because i have to satart again whatever i had been doing upto that point of time ,also if it happens once it keeps on recurring very often ,i'm wondering why this should happen ,is it a problem with my browser ? i ues ie6 , and i dont have any kind of firewalls enabled on my system ,so i am hoping some one her can help me out with this ?? i guess i may not be the only one who had experienced this but it sure is awful and time consuming , i would appreciate any kind of help

well i have been using the sothink decomplier for the past one year now , i think it is a really cool software but i use it for educational purposes mostly but to be honest i sometimes cant resist decompiling a cool animation and editing it ,i know it may be illegal but you can use it as a powerful tool for educational puprposes

did you know that from the very begining of our civilization people had been predicting the end of this world ? they will give reference to natural phenominas or the bible ,quran or wahtever and provide some mathematicla logic and calculate a date and everytime it has been proven wrong , i am not saiyng that it is not gonna end ,yea sure the world has reached an era where the chances of survival for the lving things is diminishing day by day , you may point out to the natural disasters and calamities that have increased in rate and magnitude but you dont worry ,no calculations are going to predict its end and it will be in the hands of the creator to decide when to end it

did you know taht some people can never get fat however much they eat ? it is because of a certain genes and it as you mentioned runs in the family , but on the other most people want to be thin and they spend so much time and energy on it and still fail so i guess you are far better off thin than becoming fat and start another struggle to become thin ! by the way you said your body is ok so why do you care about your fingers ? nobody is gonna say you are thin by looking at your fingers so be kool you are one of the few lucky ones out there

wow so you are telling that you entered teens and is ready for sex ,hehe i dont know which culture tou are from but i dont think the other person you will need to have sex will be so ready as you, maybe i am wrong but having sex at your age is still not a common thing in most places in the world civilised or uncivilised , i guess you will have to wait for atleast a couple of years before your dreams are going to come true so have patience and keep dreaming and i am sure you are not going to die a virgin
