Open a New Image:
White canvas
and 400x300 Pixels.
Edit/Fill/Gradient (white hand)/Magic Gradient (1) and choose
Mode: 7 (2).
Click the Edit button (red arrow), and Palette 033 (3). Change the
color of the Palette, so fit the tube you want to use.
Right click the squares/Change Color (white arrow).
For this example I changed the dark color into 196/104/101, and
the light color into 255/188/186. To save your new Palette, click
Add (4) and find a name/number for it.
Click OK.
Go to Photo/Blur/Gaussian Blur and set the Radius to 20.

Effect/VM
Instant Art (red arrow)/Tripolis (white arrow), and use these
settings (1):
128/76/52/136/127.
Your screenshot might look different, since I'm using Filters
Unlimited 2 - but the settings are the same anyway.
Click Apply.
Go to Effect/FM Tile Tools/Blend Emboss and use the default
settings. |
|
 |
Effect/Simple/Top
Left Mirror, and click OK (red arrow). |

Open
the tube (1) you've downloaded (or your own), right click/Ungroup.
That separates the tube from the signature.
Copy the tube (Ctrl+C) , activate our background picture (2), and
paste (Ctrl+V) the tube on it. Right click the tube on the
image/Properties/Position&Size (white hand)
/Position:
Left: 161 (red arrow)
Top: -11 (white arrow).
Deselect the tube (click on the background).

Right
click/All, right click/Border:
Border width: 1 (white arrow)
Direction: Inward (red arrow)
Shape: Box
and Anti-aliasing.
Click OK. |

Go
to Edit/Fill/Color and use a dark shade of the color you used for
the gradient. I used 120/48/49, and made it my Foreground color
(red arrow).
Deselect the border. (Space bar)
Right click/All, right click/Convert to Object (white arrow).
Deselect the object (Return key).
Adjust/Expand Canvas: Expand color: White, and expand sides
equally with 20 Pixels.
Go to Edit/Fill/Gradient and fill with the same gradient as
before. |

|
|
Effect/VM
Instant Art (red arrow)/Tripolis (white arrow) and use these
settings (1):
20/50/52/136/127.
(The settings are depending on the gradient color you used ... you
might have to adjust them a little bit.)
Your
screenshot might look different, since I'm using Filters Unlimited
2 - but the settings are the same anyway.
Click Apply.

Right
click/All, right click/Border: Border width: 1, Direction: Inward,
Shape: Box
and Anti-aliasing.
Edit/Fill/Color (red arrow), and use the same color as before ...
as you can see it's easy to do, if you've set the foreground color
(white arrow) as I did.
Add the name you want to have on the sig tag, and you're
