Ｄｉｇｉｔａｌｌｙ Ｄｉｓｔｉｎｃｔ: Signature Tutorial Thread

[forgive!]

I own adobe photoshop version 5.5 do you think it would work there and pixlr?

I know how to do it on pixlr, I can do a tutorial if you want. It's pretty easy.

that's would be awesome!

i second this.

Step 1 - find a transparent picture (with a transparent background). This will be the shape of the silhouette.

Step 2 - open in pixlr, resize as desired




Step 3 - find the other picture you want, and open that in pixlr, too. Make sure to resize it so that a majority of it fits into the first image. Make sure it's not too big or it will look strange. This will be the background inside the shape.



Step 4 - take the shape picture, go to edit -> select all then edit -> copy




Step 5 - go to the background picture and go to edit -> paste. Use the move tool to move the picture wherever you want the silhouette to be.




Step 6 - click the layer with the shape image (rename if desired, I did) go to edit -> select pixels.




Step 7 - now click on the check box to hide the shape layer and click on the background layer




Step 8 - the background layer should be highlighted, so now go to edit -> copy (again)

Step 9 - The selected pixels should be copied. Now go to file -> new image and check off both the boxes that say "create image from clipboard" and "transparent" and then hit okay




Step 10 - save it as a .png and you're done!!



Et voila!



So majestic.

You're welcome! I didn't know if you wanted a full tutorial but I thought it would be useful to anyone who wants to try.

Ah, I see. I will look into doing that and see what I can end up doing.
Thank you for your help / opinion / recommendation.

Hi there;;
Also, this is what your signature looks like on my screen. NOTE This is a screenshot, which means that the gifs are frozen.

Step 6 - click the layer with the shape image (rename if desired, I did) go to edit -> select pixels.

There should be 2 layers, the background (the sunset) and the shape (the cupcake). Click on the cupcake layer (the shape you want) and it should be highlighted in blue. When it's highlighted in blue, go to the top where it says "edit" and click the option that says "select pixels". The outline of the shape should be selected.
