DESCRIPTION: Make an easy and stylish Sig Tag with PI and Filter Attacks.

Remember to save often!

	Open a New Image: Canvas color: 181/168/146 and Size: 500x500 Pixels. Check the background color (white hand), because this color will be the one the filter use. For this example I used 131/36/32. Effect/Filter Attacks, click Filter (red arrow) and find the filter with the name Border: Linien (1). You do that by clicking the arrows of the filter up or down (white arrows) until you find the filter you want to use.

	Find some settings you like - this filter doesn't have the possibility to give exact settings, so you just have to try for yourself. Click the arrow to the right (white hand) to apply the filter.

	Open your tube (1), copy (Ctrl+C) the tube, activate the main picture (2) and paste (Ctrl+V) the copy on it. Right click/Properties/Position &Size (3)/and go to Size. Check that you have ticked the box Keep aspect ratio (red arrow) and change the Height to 319 (white hand). Now we can change the position of the tube: Left: 124 and Top: 105 (white arrows). Click OK and close the original tube (1). Merge All. The size and the position of your tube depend on the tube, and of course how your picture look like after applying Filter Attacks!

	Selection Tool (red arrow)/Rectangle (white hand) and draw a rectangle around the inside rectangle (see screenshot - white arrows).

	Effect/Filter Attacks, click Filter (red arrow) and find the filter with the name Border: Zuckerguß. As before - find some settings you like - this filter doesn't have the possibility to give exact settings, so you just have to try for yourself. Merge All. Add a name as you wish, Merge All, and your sig tag is finished!
Here's the result in the original size :))


That's it! Also this one - fast done, but still a stylish Sig Tag ... made with PI and Filter Attacks. HAVE FUN!!!
