Well, this thread is for anyone that has a siggy, avatar, or banner they have made that they would like to show off. Also, it's a place where noobs(LIKE ME!!!!!) at this can come to ask questions and get general help in becoming a siggy/avatar/banner maker themselves. Me personally, I need to find my copy of Photoshop I bought about 2 years ago and install it on my laptop. Unless someone just happens to know a place where I can download it for free. Way too expensive to pay for that again.

FOUND IT! Skull just told me it's at his house. He was using it while I was away in Iraq and forgot to bring it back.

Alright. I know pretty much nothing about PS so if somebody could like give me a beginner's crash course that would just be outstanding! ;D How do I even make a background??? lol
I'm using PhotoShop Elements 5.0 if that helps.

For beginning, it's a lot of trial and error. Biggest thing you can learn, and I don't know if it's in a PS that old, is double clicking on the layer in the layer window to access the layer effects, like bevels, glows, stroke (outlines)... things like that. CTRL+T also leads to your quick transform for images or text to make them larger and smaller (I use this solely for text instead of font sizes...). www.photoshoproadmap.com/Photoshop-blog/2007/07/22/the-best-80-photoshop-text-effects-on-the-web/A good tutorial site to start with. I'm also going to look into snagging you CS4. I have the entire master suite, but that's over 8 gigs that I won't be uploading.

Well, I used to know how to do a small bit of stuff in PS, but it's been a good 2 years or so and I wasn't all that great at it. SO......anyone willing to help me out while I rack my brain on how to do this would be much appreciated. Just know, I'm starting from step numero uno. If there is an idiot's guide to this, I could certainly use it.

I spent some time tonight messing around with photoshop. I WILL NEVER do this without help again because all it has managed to do is tick me off. I have no clue what I'm doing when it comes to using PS. I have always wanted to learn how to use it. Right now, I'm gritting my teeth at it trying not to start swearing. Maybe someday I will finally learn how to use it. For now, I'm going to bed to refrain from pissing myself off further.
