Ｄｉｇｉｔａｌｌｙ Ｄｉｓｔｉｎｃｔ: Signature Tutorial Thread

[Falls]

Thank you for those who responded to my request! I no longer need a tutorial.
Ａｎｎｏｕｎｃｅｍｅｎｔ:
Looking for someone to write a specific tutorial for this thread.

What kind of tutorial?
- Due to popular demand, this thread needs a tutorial on how to make borders weave through images using photoshop or pixlr.
- Must be step-by-step and easy for any novice coder to understand

What's in it for me?
- Yes, I will pay you. Payment will be provided after I look over your tutorial.
- Yes, I will credit you. The tutorial will be hyperlinked to your profile.

Why not do it yourself?
- I do not work in pixlr and so I do not have this knowledge myself.
- I do not have the time to acquire this knowledge nor write a tutorial about it.
- You guys have created a wonderful community of coders on this thread that has a lot of great knowledge to offer! I think it's time to tap into that great source for the good of our new coders.

i might be able to do it! <3 without pay too!
but i wanted to know, is weaving like the girl in my signature ( junko )? where the borders go behind the character or whatever it is, or on top of it?

It is indeed!

Another coder has also offered to write the walkthrough. If you are still willing, I'd love to see what you write up. I will either take the best tutorial or take the best pieces from both. Y'all will still be credited and paid for whatever I use!

[folie a deux]

Marking! This is super useful!!!

Thank you to the two lovely coders who responded to my request for the tutorial!
I will be posting one or both of them in a week.


Also, we now have a whole slew of beautiful new siggy stamps!
So shiny! They will be posted on the front page soon!


special thanks to abberence.

Weaving

Hi there! I'm going to be showing you how to weave borders through images. For example..
Notice how the borders are behind the character? I'll be showing you how to place your borders behind, and in front of your desired image!

So step number one is to head over to Pixlr! Pixlr is an amazing free-to-use editing program/website!
Then you'll want to scroll down a wee bit and check out Pixlr Editor!

This little bugger should pop up!


Your going to want to create a new image!
Select your desired width and height.
I personally go for 5 for my width and 360 for my height, but it really depends on personal preference, just make sure not to go too high up on the height or it might not work well with your signature!
Make sure to also check off transparent so you don't have to do it later!
So, this is what should appear after selecting all that and putting your border into full screen.

To colour in your border, just go down to the little black looking box on the side.

Pick your colour, then move up to the paint bucket.

Then fill your border in!

Your going to then want to get out of full screen, and head back up to the "File" button near the top so you can add your desired image in.

You can copy your images url and get it onto pixlr by clicking "Open Image URL" or you can get it from your computer by clicking, "Open Image"
So I've got my image out, and my border, it looks like this!

I'm going to then click back onto my desired image, hover over "Image" on the top left, and increase my canvas size by width. (Make it as large as you want, your going to crop the unwanted space out after.)
I usually make my canvas around 500, just for the space, if the width is already quite large, this step is not needed.
Also, make sure the height of your border is bigger or equal to the size of your desired image, you can change the size of your desired image by going to "Image" and then changing the image size, not canvas size.
I'm then going to go back onto my border, and go up to "Edit" on the top left.
Press "Select All" then "Copy" and then "Deselect All"
You've now copied your border!
Go back and click onto your image now, go up to "Edit" and paste.

Look at that!
Now, my border isn't where I want it to be, so I'm going to go back and click this tool!

Grab ahold of your border, and move it to wherever you please!
If you'd like multiple borders, go back up to "Edit" and "Paste" your border again!
Now you must be thinking..
"How do I get my borders BEHIND the desired image, not on top of it?"
Its very simple actually!
Look to the right at your layers, over here.

Drag the layer of your desired image, ON TOP of the border.

See that? The border is now behind the image.
Do you have any access space?

Click that,and drag it over the part of the image you want to KEEP, then click, and press Ok!
Then, go up to "File" at the top left, and save your border!
Here is the finished product.

You can continue to make more borders, and colour them differently, make your own style!

I hope this tutorial worked, and you enjoyed it!
Feel free to send me any pm's if you have questions or just need some help!

I have a problem...I made the super awesome signature and I have it copied but whenever I go to press submit for my signature to save it is says the chickensmoothie server broke....This is the signature I made
Also I just tried posting it here and it still said the server broke even though it hasn't because I am playing cs right now...

Never mind...It kept crashing because of an emoji I was using... >.<
