PSJ: Really like the new sig, only suggestion is that the text needs to stand out a little more. The brushing looks nice as does the overall sig. Nice work.

Sorry if it was a spoiler, I'm not a manga reader. They have been edited for what must have been some sort of spoiler. My bad.

I've got 2 questions regarding photoshop which I know you guys can help me with. I'm using CS2 by the way.

1) How do you fade away a layer? I mean like around 100% opacity on 1 end and 0% opacity on the other end. I know it can be done thru the eraser but that's very tedious. I'm sure there's a simpler way but I can't find it.

2) When I adjust the colour balance of a layer the entire image gets affected. Is there a way to just adjust the colour balance for a certain layer?

Thanks alot for the help. Yeah I know these might be dumb questions, but like what they say, better a fool for once than forever. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

1. THe only way I can think th acomplish something like the first is to use the gradiant tool and then adjust the opacity to where you like it.

2. Depending ofn what you want to do. Say if you just want a certain area only affected by the color balance, then you can use either the lasso tool to select that certain area and mess with the color balance and it wont affect the surronding areas, but it will affec all the layers below the color balance.
Or you could create a new document copy the layer and move it over to the new document, then mess with the color balance, then merge the layers and move it back to the original document. Then erase the old copy. Colr balance affects any layer that is below it so perhaps you can accopmlish it by just moving around your layers, it all depends where the layer is. You could adjust the color balance on a couple of layers if they are the first couple and then merge them and then the color balance wont affect new layers after the merger if you place them below the newly merged layer. Hope this helps you, there are several ways to go about this.

Thanks a lot for your help! Gonna go try with the layer and colour balance thingy soon.

1. Add a layer mask to your layer. Then apply a straight gradient to the mask, black (or dark) being parts you want low opacity, and white (light) being parts you want high opacity. You can only use greyscale on the layer mask. The layer mask button is in the same place as the New Layer button on the layers window.

2. Select your layer. Go to Layers > New Adjustment Layer > Color Balance. This will only affect the layer under it.

Edit: Ok here's a Gungrave sig. Not very flashy. The line "Welcome home" is by far my favorite line in the entire series.

Edit 2: bah, forgot border. Added.

psyke idk if its been mentioned but im too lazy to read. One of the cool ways I like to do color balancing is hold ctrl and click on the layer you dont want affected or the only layer you want affected and left click on the layer on the layer pallette while holding ctrl. A lasso selection will form around the layer now do a color balance it it'll work.

**Foomanchew24** · Tue, 08-23-2005, 04:02 PM

Now we are talking Board of Command. By far your best anime sig you have ever made. Good job.
