You're Welcome, I am still in awe at all of you GFX pro's. I see a long learning curve for me with Ps.

Still not a GFX pro here. Have a lot more to learn with PS. Still stuck with PS CS3. Practice makes perfect, derek. If we can do it, so can you.

Thanks, noob.

I'm not graphics pro either Deft, some of my skills with photoshop are embarrassing compared to yours and dre@ms efforts. I think I only got the badge because I had a go at designing some badgse for The Eight Forums.
So I still think I'm not in the same league of you guys.

Oh, c'mon Domii. Don't put yourself down. I know you're better than me. That's why you deserve the GFX badge.

Re-edited my sig. Less opacity on the glass effect.

As requested by sergio. He needs a new sig with a chick and a car for the background. It's a bit simple though. I tried to fit in a few logos but it ends up messy. Anyway, there are two types of sigs. One with the glass effect and the other without. Here it is. Tell me what you think sergio.

D3ftOn3Z pal whilst I think you've done a great job .... is it ok if I give a tip that I've used in the past for making the glass/reflective look that little more realistic. I've done a quick rendition of your sig to show what I mean. :)

Try adding a "gaussain blur" to the layer. Experiment with different values to get the desired effect. Then adjust the opacity accordingly. You could also try mirroring the same effect and positioning it at the bottom but in a darker tone to give the whole image a more rounded/shiny feel with a bit of depth.

But keep up the great work, you are turning out to be quite a budding artist

Thanks for the tip PooMan. Appreciate the help. Will look into it for my future custom sigs. If i encounter any probs, may i ask you for help?
