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 ...

Wow this is really cool. I myself use photoshop a lot and i love the hue and saturation tools. Its a lot like playing with the whiteballance in a raw editor for photographs. Lots of fun.

Very Nice guide, thanks

Generally its not recommended to saturate your render as well as the background, as you end up with a monotone sig, otherwise its a good way for beginners to make a decent sig

I was wondering how to get the background renders? I'm not skilled enough to make them, it would be great if someone showed me some resources, or perhaps told me how to make some myself? :)Thanks for this tutorial. I seriously need a new sig...

The tutorial was great. I have a lot of trouble with photoshop because it has a very difficult interface. I�ve tried more than once to do things that were supposed to be easy and it turned out I didn�t manage to finish them without help.I�ve recently discovered a great photo tool at htt:reshade.Com. I thelped me a lot and was easier to use.
