[GIMP]Quick Sig Tutorial
Written on June 6, 2007 by admin
I will just make one for the semi decent gimp users.
Step One Open up a blank white document, I used 300×100
Step 2 Open a new layer and stick your render on it:
Step 3 Open another layer and randomly put your render everywhere so that it covers the whole sig:
Step 4 Go to Noise>Pick, and make the settings at 100 on each side and a random seed, and after that, go to Filters>Gaussian Blur, and Gaussian Blur it by 20, then duplicate that render layer and run the pick again. After that put your render back on top and you should get something like this:
Step 5 Lets make it a little lighter around your render, and duplicate it two times, and make a small non-hardened circle and smudge it away, and do that with both renders, now on the top make it Dodge. On the bottom smudge, use the Pick filter once again, and set that layer as overlay, and put your render on top, now you should have something like this:
Step 6 Now just for a little more added effect, and you dont have to do this if you dont want to, but I will make this a sample of it. Anyways, take a scratchy brush, and form a new tranparent layer under the smudges, and paint it white. Afterwards you set that layer to Grain Extract and should get something like this:
Step 7 Now we are almost done, over your smudges, make one or two transparent layers, and in this case I will use two, and pick two different colors from your render by using the eye drop tool, or just simply press the ‘O’ button, and fill those two layers in with the bucket tool and with that in mind set the top one to Soft Light, and the other to Overlay.
And Congrats you have finished, however you can also add Scan Lines, Text, and Borders on your own, but using those three I have made this:
