Full Smudge Signature

Hi all, in this tutorial I will teach you how to make this signature:

Lets Start:

1. Ok, Open a Canvas 280x80 with a white background

2. Then We Take A Render, I Took This One:

3. Resize it till it fits nicely in the canvas

4. Now duplicate the render layer so you got 2 layers, then hide your first layer

5. Now Get the Smudge Tool get the Hard Round 19 pixels brush and smudge the visible layer till it looks like this(if you don't know how to smudge look for other tutorials on this website):

6. Now Copy The Original Render Again And Past The Copy On The Side Of your Sig i pasted it on the left side now it looks like this:

7. Put the layer with your render on it to Linear Light and now Merge(CTRL + E) the render and the smudge layer.

8. Now Duplicate that layer

9. Now Put A Filter -> Blur ->Radial Blur on The Original layer-- Amount = 40% -- Method = z00m

10. Now We Put 2 Lens Flare's on the Original( Filter -> Render -> Lens Flare) now it looks like this:

11. Now Set The Copied Layer's Opacity to 70% and the blending mode to Soft Light, it will now look something like this:

12. If your sig is to dark or light on one side of the sig, take out a nice grunge brush and brush a bit on a new layer to make the sig look darker/lighter

13. Now get the original render and place it on top off all other layers and set the blending mode to screen:

14. Now copy that layer, but this time set it to normal with a opacity of 68% and place it on the right side of your signature:

15. Now set a gradient map over it by pressing on this button:

Select Gradient map from the menu and set it from black to white, once you done that set the blending mode of the gradient map layer to soft light.

16. Now Do it Once again but now set the layer too hard light

17. If you did everything correct your sig will now look something like this:

Now you can add some cool text on your signature, but I'm not gonna tell you how to do that, use your own imagination for that!
