- ~ Reflection Sig Tutorial ~ written by JulieJ. (wyomingrose) 2003© ~Written for Paint Shop Pro~

•Open a "new" blank image in psp -- background-transparent. size-300x300pixels. •Click on the text tool(it looks like a capital A) -- select your font, size,
text color etc... Make sure "antialias" is checked and "vector" is checked.

•Click the text tool on your new blank image.
•type your name, click apply. Now, your name is on your blank image.

•Go to your "layers" palette and right click on "vector 1" and
select "duplicate" from the menu.

•Click "edit" ("image" for psp8) at the top of your psp toolbar. Then click "flip"

•With your mover tool, (looks like a plus sign with an arrow at each end.) move the
flipped layer down below your original text. Line it up so that no part of the text
is overlapping. But just edge to edge.

•Now make sure you are on the layer of the duplicate text. Either click on it with
the mover tool. Or click on the "copy of vector 1" in your layer pallette.

•Now on the "layer palette" use the slider with the numbers to fade it out.
This is called "muted" when a graphic is faded...
Take it down to about a 20

•If you have everything all lined up and muted. Now click at the top
of your psp toolbar or
on the layers palette and select : "layers/merge flatten"

•Now we want to crop around it and take away all the extra white space.

•So click on the "crop" tool. Start in the upper left corner close to your image.
But not cutting any of it off. And expand the square around your whole image.
Careful not to crop off any of your design. When you have a square around the
whole thing, just left click twice in the middle (on your image/text)
That will crop it down to the size you have indicated.

•Click "file" "save as" give your signature file a name and save it in .gif format.
(file/save as/yourname.gif)

Thank you for taking my tutorial. I hope you have enjoyed it!
