I finally got around to making a tutorial for one my of personal favorite signatures of mine. I will upload the PSD for learning purposes only, but please PM me for it. and if you have any question about this tutorial, feel free to send me a message.
Note: Photoshop is required. I personally use CS2, but i'm fairly certain any version later than 7.0 should be able to do every trick used in this tut...
Also, GIMP users could try it as well, but i'm not sure how your result will look, i don't use GIMP, but i'm sure you've got relatively similar tools.
Hope it helps...
Be sure to post your outcomes!
Enjoy.

I've have no experience with Paint.net, but i'd assume it would, i've seen the interface, and for the most part, it seems almost similar enough, but give it a try, and let me know.

I think I will look into getting CS2 so I can make better stuff.

I'm sure CS2 isn't too easy to find anymore...most of the installation links, just go to adobe.com, which will take you to CS3.

Oh no another double post! Oh well...these are awesome. I don't have the money for it so I found some shortcuts with NeoOffice, Photobucket and I Photo. I don't know how it will work though.

besides photobucket, i have no idea what those other 2 are...but if you're looking for a photo manipulation program...that's free...get GIMP.

IPhoto= Photo editing program comes standard on all Macs
NeoOffie= It is kind of like all the Microsoft Office programs in one (and then some)
About GIMP my Mac doesn't download things like my PC did it will only open it in the notepad on here.
