Can someone do me a quick tutorial?

Archive: 10 posts


Somthing i have wanted to incorporate into my sigs for a long time is the kinda neon lines in the sigs, be they wrapping around an image, or following the lines, or even creating a whole sig just by how they go together....

I just have no idea how to do them... I am on Photoshop CS2 for anyone wondering, and this is the kind of thing i mean:

thanks

okay you need the pentool

then draw some curvy lines around something you want then click on the brush tool icon select the brush size 3

then go back to the pentool right click on the line

select stroke path (tool brush/stimulate pressure)

then right click on the line again and select delete path

now you have a wavy line then click on the little F at the bottom right

select outer glow and inner glow choose what ever settings look best

a there you go cool glowing lines

you can use whatever size you want but i usually use smaller sizes

hope you could understand if you can't i will make a proper tut and pm you it
